Your answer: — · Correct: C

Explanation

Fundamental Duties are listed in Article 51A of the Indian Constitution. The options are classified as follows:

Option A: A fundamental duty under Article 51A(g) to protect and improve the natural environment.
Option B: A fundamental duty under Article 51A(a) to respect the National Flag and the National Anthem.
Option D: A fundamental duty under Article 51A(i) to safeguard public property.
Option C: This is not a fundamental duty. The protection of monuments and places of national importance is a Directive Principle of State Policy (DPSP) under Article 49, which mandates the State to protect such objects from spoliation or destruction. While Article 51A(f) mentions preserving the "rich heritage of our composite culture," the specific wording in Option C refers to the State's obligation.
