BThe 44th Constitutional Amendment of 1978 added eleven duties, including the environment one
CThe 73rd Constitutional Amendment of 1992 added duties alongside panchayati raj provisions
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.
