Correct answer: (A) Fundamental in the governance of the country — As per Article 37, the Directive Principles are fundamental in the governance of the country.
Explanation
★As per Article 37, the Directive Principles are fundamental in the governance of the country.
★The exact word used in Article 37 is fundamental, not basic or foundational.
★Article 37 says these principles are fundamental in the governance of the country.
★It also says it shall be the duty of the state to apply them in making laws.
★Yet Article 37 makes clear that the Directive Principles are not enforceable by any court.
★So they guide the state morally and politically rather than legally.
★Hence the precise word in Article 37 is fundamental.
