Correct:
B
Explanation
The âInstrument of Instructionsâ of the Government of India Act, 1935 was explicitly equated by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar with what the Constitution of India calls the Directive Principles of State Policy, indicating direct continuity in purpose and nomenclature [1]. These Directive Principles were incorporated into Part IV of the 1950 Constitution as nonâjusticiable guidelines for state policy and governance, directing the State to apply social and economic principles while framing laws and policies [2]. Therefore, the correct incorporation of the 1935 âInstrument of Instructionsâ in the 1950 Constitution is as the Directive Principles of State Policy (Option 2).
