B1 and 4
C3 and 4
D1 and 2 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 1 and 2 — Statements 1 and 2 are correct, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Statements 1 and 2 are correct, so that is the answer.
★The Preamble assures justice that is social, economic and political.
★It assures liberty of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship.
★Statement 3 is wrong, since the Preamble speaks of equality of status and opportunity, not 'character'.

★So statements 3 and 4 misstate the Preamble.
★Thus statements 1 and 2 are correct.
