  • D.to safeguard public property and to abjure violence.

Answer: A

The 86th Amendment added the duty of a parent or guardian to provide opportunities for education to his child or ward between the age of six and fourteen years.

The 86th Amendment Act, 2002 made elementary education a fundamental right under Article 21A, and added a matching duty as Article 51A(k), the eleventh fundamental duty.

The other three duties are among the original ten added by the 42nd Amendment of 1976: developing the scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and reform is 51A(h); protecting the natural environment is 51A(g); and safeguarding public property and abjuring violence is 51A(i).
