Which one of the following is not a part of the Directive Principles of State Poiicy?

The Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP), contained in Part IV (Articles 36-51) of the Constitution, include the Uniform Civil Code (Article 44), the separation of the judiciary from the executive (Article 50), and the duty of the State to raise the level of nutrition and standard of living (Article 47) [4]. These principles serve as constitutional instructions for the State in legislative and administrative matters [3]. In contrast, the promotion of scientific temper, humanism, and the spirit of inquiry and reform is classified as a Fundamental Duty under Article 51A(h) in Part IVA. Fundamental Duties were added by the 42nd Amendment Act of 1976 and are directed toward citizens rather than the State. Therefore, while the first three options are part of the DPSP framework, the fourth option is a Fundamental Duty.
