Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Directive Principals of State Policy

Explanation: The correct answer is B. Directive Principals of State Policy. The Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSPs) are non-justiciable, meaning they are not enforceable by any court. They are mentioned in Part IV of the Constitution and act as guidelines for the government to follow for the welfare of the people. Unlike Fundamental Rights, citizens cannot approach the court if DPSPs are violated. However, they are crucial for establishing social and economic democracy. The idea of DPSPs is inspired by the Irish Constitution.
