Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

All three pairs are correctly matched.

**Pair I:** The separation of the judiciary from the executive in the public services of the State is mentioned in Article 50[1], which falls under the Directive Principles of State Policy. This is correctly matched.

**Pair II:** The Fundamental Duties were added by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1976, and Part IV-A of the Constitution specifies duties including preserving the rich heritage of our composite culture[2]. One of the fundamental duties is to preserve the rich heritage of our composite culture[3]. This is correctly matched.

**Pair III:** Article 24 prohibits the employment of children below the age of 14 years in any factory, mine or other hazardous activities[4]. Article 24 (prohibition of employment of children in hazardous employment) is included in Part III of the Constitution, which deals with Fundamental Rights[5]. This is correctly matched.

Therefore, all three pairs are correctly matched, making option C the correct answer.
