{'86th amendment': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'fundamental duty': [1, 0, 0, 3], 'constitution': [39, 3, 11, 39], 'welfare': [1, 0, 2, 5], 'act': [7, 1, 13, 45], 'education': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'excellence': [1, 0, 3, 4], 'age': [2, 1, 1, 2], 'child': [5, 2, 2, 8], 'peace': [1, 1, 5, 9], 'children': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'opportunities': [0, 0, 0, 3]}

The question is about the changes in the Indian Constitution through the Constitution (86th Amendment) Act, 2002 related to fundamental duties.

Option 1: `To strive towards excellence in individual and collective activity` is one of the fundamental duties, but it was added through the 42nd amendment in 1976, not the 86th amendment in 2002.

Option 2: `To provide opportunities for education to one`s child between the age of 6 and 14 years` is indeed the correct answer. It was added to fundamental duties through the 86th amendment in 2002.

Option 3: `To work for the welfare of women and children` is a part of Directive Principles of State Policy, not a fundamental duty.

Option 4: `To promote peace and harmony` was included in the fundamental duties, but like Option 1, it was added in the 42nd amendment of 1976, not the 86th amendment.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2 as it is the duty added through the 86th Amendment in 2002.
