‘Economic Justice’ as one of the objectives of the Indian Constitution has been provided in

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B
Explanation

The objective of 'Economic Justice' is explicitly enshrined in both the Preamble and the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) of the Indian Constitution. The Preamble declares the resolve to secure to all citizens justice in three forms: social, economic, and political [2]. This vision is further operationalized through Part IV of the Constitution, specifically Article 38, which mandates the State to strive for a social order where social, economic, and political justice informs all institutions of national life . While the Preamble sets the ideal, the DPSP provides the framework for achieving it by directing the State to minimize inequalities in income and eliminate disparities in status and opportunity [4]. Although Fundamental Rights (Part III) provide for political and civil rights, the specific mandate for 'Economic Justice' as a distributive goal is primarily the domain of the Preamble and the DPSP [4].
