The correct answer is option 2 - 1 and 2 only.

Let`s dissect each option for better understanding:

Option 1 states that there is no provision in the Constitution for direct enforcement of any of the duties nor for any sanction to prevent their violation. This statement is correct. Fundamental duties are not legally enforceable, meaning that there are no direct penalties for not fulfilling them.

Option 2 states that duties are obligatory for a citizen and that the state should also strive to achieve the same. This statement is correct. Fundamental duties are indeed obligatory for citizens, as outlined in Article 51A of the Constitution. Additionally, the state is expected to promote and strive to ensure that these duties are upheld.

Option 3 states that the fundamental duties in Article 51A are confined to all persons and not just citizens. This statement is incorrect. The fundamental duties in Article 51A are specifically mentioned in relation to citizens of India. It is not applicable to all persons within the country, but only to Indian citizens.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2 - 1 and 2 only.
