Correct:
A
Explanation
Article 51, located in Part IV (Directive Principles of State Policy), expressly directs the State to endeavour to promote international peace and security; it is a non-justiciable directive in Part IV of the Constitution [1]. This distinguishes it from Article 48A, which deals with protection and improvement of the environment and safeguarding forests and wildlife [2]. Other options are also unrelated: Article 43A concerns participation of workers in management of industries, while Article 41 relates to the right to work, to education and public assistance in certain cases — both are separate DPSPs listed in Part IV [2]. Hence, the provision that specifically promotes international peace and security is Article 51 (option 1).
