Answer: D
Correct answer: Jawaharlal Nehru
The Objectives Resolution was moved by Jawaharlal Nehru on 13 December 1946, at the Assembly’s second sitting, and adopted on 22 January 1947. It set out the philosophy and guiding principles of the Constitution to come: that India would be an independent sovereign republic, that all power derives from the people, that justice, equality and freedom would be secured to every citizen, and that adequate safeguards would be provided for minorities and backward and tribal areas. It became, in modified form, the Preamble, which is why the two read so similarly and why the Supreme Court has treated the Preamble as a key to the framers’ intent. The other figures had distinct roles: Ambedkar chaired the Drafting Committee, Prasad presided over the Assembly, and Patel chaired the Advisory Committee on Fundamental Rights and Minorities as well as the Provincial Constitution Committee. Nehru also chaired the Union Powers and Union Constitution Committees.
