B. While the former relate largely to civic aspects, the latter relates to socio-economic and international aspects.

Answer 1

Hint:
The basic rights and values of the Directive are two sides of the same coin that balance each other and together form the "morality" of the Indian constitution. Fundamental rights guarantee political freedom, while the values of the Directive guarantee economic and social democracy.

Complete answer:
Fundamental rights are rights of citizens but directive principles are not duties of state. In Directive principles, the laws and policies were made by the union and state government.

Fundamental rights are people-oriented but directive principles are socio-economic aspects not international. Fundamental rights can be defined as fundamental rights granted to the people of India under the constitution of India, where directive principles are the protocols for the state to be implemented in the context of laws and policies.

Fundamental rights are rights framed for citizens by the Indian constitution. It cannot be changed for any time and there is no time-bound. But directive principles are time constraint.

Fundamental rights extend equally to all citizens of the region, irrespective of race, caste, creed, sex, religion, place of birth, etc. One who violates human rights can be punished under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) depending on the discretion of the judiciary. So it is judicially enforceable.

Therefore, the correct answer is D

Note:
The Constitution entered into force on 26 January 1950 and is celebrated as the Day of the Republic. On 26 November, the Government of India proclaimed the Constitution Day. As a citizen of India let us update ourselves by knowing the fundamental rights and duties framed by the constitution.
