    Solution

    Change option (d) in question  to- “providing opportunity to children between the age of 6 and 14 years.” Out of all the above-mentioned options only – ““providing opportunity to children between the age of 6 and 14 years” is not a Directive Principle of State Policy rather it is a Fundamental duty under Part IV A of the Constitution. Art. 51 A.
