Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

On December 13, 1946, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru moved the historic 'Objectives Resolution' in the Constituent Assembly [c2][c3]. This resolution defined the aims of the Assembly and outlined the fundamental ideals of the Constitution of independent India, such as sovereignty, justice, equality, and freedom [c1][c2]. It proclaimed India as an 'Independent Sovereign Republic' and provided the ideological framework for the constitution-making process [t1][t4]. After extensive debate, the resolution was unanimously adopted by the Assembly on January 22, 1947 [t1][t7]. The Objectives Resolution is of paramount significance as its modified version forms the basis of the Preamble of the Indian Constitution today [t1][t2]. While Dr. B.R. Ambedkar chaired the Drafting Committee and Dr. Rajendra Prasad was the President of the Assembly, it was Nehru who specifically introduced this foundational resolution [t2][t8].
