Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Fundamental Duties of Indian citizens are enumerated in Article 51A of the Constitution, added by the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976 [3]. The list includes safeguarding public property and abjuring violence [3], protecting and improving the natural environment including forests and wildlife [2], and developing the scientific temper, humanism, and the spirit of inquiry [3]. However, 'to promote international peace and security' is not a Fundamental Duty. Instead, it is a Directive Principle of State Policy (DPSP) under Article 51, which mandates the State to strive for international peace [2]. While Fundamental Duties are moral obligations for citizens to foster patriotism and unity, the promotion of international peace is specifically categorized as a duty of the State rather than an individual citizen's constitutional duty [2].
