General KnowledgeIndian Polity and Governance
- ATo render national service when called upon to do so
- BTo renounce practices derogatory to the dignity of women
- CTo value and preserve a unitary national culture
- DTo develop the spirit of inquiry and reform
Explanation
Article 51A(f) enjoins citizens ‘to value and preserve the rich heritage of our COMPOSITE culture’ — there is no duty to preserve a ‘unitary national culture’. Rendering national service when called upon (51A(k)), renouncing practices derogatory to women (51A(e)), and developing the spirit of inquiry and reform (51A(h)) are all listed duties. So C is the one not mentioned.
