Match the following features of the Indian Constitution from their adoptions :

Features	Adoptions
A. Federalism	I. Canada
B. Fundamental Duties	II. Former Soviet Union
C. Directive Principles of State Policy	III. Ireland
D. Judicial Review	IV. US

Choose the correct answer :

Answer: A

The correct match is A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV.

Federalism with a strong Centre, often called a quasi-federal structure, was modelled on Canada.
Fundamental Duties, added by the 42nd Amendment in 1976 on the Swaran Singh Committee's advice, were inspired by the Constitution of the former Soviet Union.
The Directive Principles of State Policy came from the Constitution of Ireland, which had taken them from Spain.
Judicial review, like the Fundamental Rights, came from the US Constitution.

The other options swap these sources, for example putting Directive Principles against the USSR or judicial review against Canada, so they are wrong.
