Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP) is expressly framed as a measure to provide social assistance (pensions and subsistence support for old age, widowhood and disability) and is described by official sources as a significant step towards fulfilling the Directive Principles in Article 41 (public assistance in cases of old age, sickness, disablement, unemployment) [2]. Article 41 and related DPSPs obligate the State to make provision for such social security, but these provisions are non-justiciable (not enforceable as fundamental rights) and serve as guiding principles for governance [4]. Fundamental Duties are obligations on citizens and do not mandate social welfare schemes. Hence NSAP fulfills Directive Principles only (option: 3 only).
