Answer 1

Hint:
The 42nd Amendment Act of 1976 added ten Fundamental Duties to our constitution. 86th Amendment Act 2002 was added as 11th Fundamental Duty to this list. Swaran Singh Committee in 1976 recommended these Fundamental Duties.

Complete answer:
The Indian Constitution originally did not include the fundamental duties. Ten fundamental duties were added by the 42nd Amendment act. Further, one more was added through the 86th amendment. This 86th amendment was added as the fundamental duty. It states that every citizen, who is a parent or guardian, should provide the opportunities for education to his child at the ward between the ages of six to fourteen years. These are the moral obligations of the citizens of the country and are non-justiciable.

Thus the correct option is D.

Additional Information:
Fundamental duties are being described by the critics as a code of moral precepts due to their non-justiciable character. This is because the duties mentioned in the Constitution as fundamental would be performed by the people. Fundamental Duties are normally categorized into two classes, which are Moral Duty and Civic Duty. Moral Duty is the cherishing noble ideals of the freedom struggle. Civic Duty is for respecting the Constitution, National Flag and National Anthem. These essentially contain the codification of tasks integral to the Indian way of life.

Note:
The fundamental duties help to strengthen the hands of the legislature in enforcing these duties. Fundamental Duties are hence an inalienable part of fundamental rights.
