DThe 86th Constitutional Amendment of 2002 added Fundamental Duties and the Right to Education
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. The 42nd Constitutional Amendment of 1976 added a list of ten duties for citizens
Page 18 says the 42nd Amendment (1976) inserted Fundamental Duties; ten duties were enumerated. The 86th Amendment (2002) made education a Fundamental Right but did NOT add duties. The 11th duty (parent's duty regarding education) was added in 2002 by the 86th, but the original list and concept came in 1976.
