Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

Part IVA of the Constitution of India, specifically Article 51A, outlines the Fundamental Duties of citizens. According to the text, Article 51A(d) mandates citizens to defend the country and render national service when called upon [1]. Article 51A(e) requires citizens to renounce practices derogatory to the dignity of women. Article 51A(h) specifies the duty to develop the scientific temper, humanism, and the spirit of inquiry and reform. However, Article 51A(f) explicitly states the duty is to "value and preserve the rich heritage of our composite culture" [1]. The phrase "unitary national culture" is not mentioned in the Constitution; instead, the Indian Constitution emphasizes a "composite culture," reflecting India's diverse pluralistic traditions rather than a singular unitary one. Therefore, option 3 is the incorrect statement regarding the mentioned duties.
