Hint: The Indian Constitution is the supreme law book of India. It is the longest written constitution of any country on Earth. B.R. Ambedkar is the chairman of the drafting committee and is widely considered to be its chief architect.

Complete answer:
 The Constitution of India has documents that put down the framework of fundamental and political codes, structures, procedures, powers, and duties of government institutions, which further sets out fundamental rights and directive principles for each and every citizen to follow. The Article 51A of the constitution says: It shall be the duty of every Indian citizen of India to develop the scientific temper, humanism, and the spirit of inquiry and reform. It shall be the duty of every citizen to abide by the Constitution and respect its ideals and institutions, the National flag and the National Anthem.
Here, we are asked about what Article 51A (IVA) stresses the most. While looking at the options, option 'c' is not applicable at all, so you can deduct it. If one has a basic knowledge of the Indian Constitution, one would know that option 'd' Duty of the citizens to protect the environment, is the correct answer for this question. Tree plantation (option a) automatically comes under the “protect the environment”(option d) part. And option b. also somewhat makes a space in the “protect the environment” fundamental right.
Hence, the correct answer is option d. The duty of the citizens to protect the environment.

Note:
Article 51A(IVA) has around 11 fundamental rights in it. Every right has a different motive to share, one must know all of them in order to be a good Indian citizen.
