{'human rights charter': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'fundamental rights': [13, 0, 7, 20], 'human rights': [0, 0, 3, 6], 'universal declaration': [0, 0, 0, 4], 'un general assembly': [1, 0, 2, 4], 'constitution': [39, 3, 11, 39], 'property': [15, 0, 8, 22]}

Option 1 states that the UN General Assembly adopted the Human Rights Charter on 10th December, 1948. This is correct. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was indeed adopted by the UN General Assembly on 10th December, 1948.

Option 2 suggests that some provisions of the Fundamental Rights in the Constitution of India are similar to those in the UDHR. This is correct. The Constitution of India, which was adopted in 1950, includes Fundamental Rights that are inspired by the principles of the UDHR.

Option 3 claims that the Right to Property is not a part of the UDHR. This is incorrect. The UDHR does recognize the right to property. However, it is important to note that the right to property has evolved over time and there have been subsequent international human rights instruments that provide more specific and nuanced protections for property rights.

Option 4 states that India is a signatory to the UDHR. This is correct. India was one of the countries that voted in favor of adopting the UDHR, and it has been an advocate for human rights on the international stage.

In conclusion, the correct answer is option 3.
