Complete answer:
Fundamental rights are the fundamental human rights mentioned in the Constitution of India which are ensured to all citizens. They do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, gender, etc. and are enforceable by the court of law. The articles 12-35 of Indian Constitution deal with the Fundamental Rights.

2. Right to Freedom
3. Right against Exploitation

This option is incorrect.
A preamble is an elementary statement in an article that explains the document’s philosophy and goals. The objectives behind the Preamble to India’s Constitution were legislated by Jawaharlal Nehru’s Objectives Resolution, approved by the Constituent Assembly on January 22, 1947. This option is incorrect.
The Consumer right is 'the right to have knowledge about the quality, efficacy, amount, purity, rate and standard of goods or services'. It is very crucial for the consumers to know these rights. This option is incorrect.
The Directive Principles of State policy (DPSP) are an ‘instrument of instructions’ which are listed in the Government of India Act, 1935.They strive to create economic and social democracy in the country and are not lawfully enforceable by the courts for their violation. Planning in India also derives its objectives from the Directive Principles of State policy. This option is correct.

Hence the correct answer is option D.

Note:There are three types of DPSPs are; Socialist Gandhian and Liberal-Intellectual.
Dr B.R Ambedkar has described DPSP as the ‘novel feature’ of the Constitution.
The Indian DPSPs find their motivation from the Irish Home Rule Movement.
