- A.To vote in public elections
- B.To develop the scientific temper
- C.To safeguard public property
- D.To abide by the Constitution and respect its ideals
▶ Answer & Explanation
Correct answer: A. To vote in public elections
The Constitution of India lists fundamental duties in Part IV-A. While duties such as developing scientific temper, safeguarding public property, and abiding by the Constitution are enshrined, the right to vote is a political right and a fundamental right, not a fundamental duty. Citizens are encouraged to vote, but it is not mandated as a duty.
