Your answer: —  ·  Correct: A
Explanation

On December 13, 1946, Jawaharlal Nehru moved the historic 'Objectives Resolution' in the Constituent Assembly [2][3]. This resolution laid down the fundamental philosophy and ideological framework that guided the entire process of framing the Indian Constitution [1]. It proclaimed India as an 'Independent Sovereign Republic' and guaranteed its citizens justice, equality, and freedom. The resolution encapsulated the aspirations of the nationalist movement and served as the basis for the Preamble, Fundamental Rights, and Directive Principles of State Policy [1][4]. While Rajendra Prasad served as the Chairman of the Assembly and B.R. Ambedkar later chaired the Drafting Committee, it was Nehru who introduced this specific foundational document [1]. After extensive debate, the Assembly unanimously adopted the Objectives Resolution on January 22, 1947.
