Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The Uniform Civil Code (UCC) is mentioned under Article 44 of the Indian Constitution.
Article 44 directs the State to endeavor to secure for the citizens a uniform civil code throughout the territory of India.
It is part of the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) which are guidelines to the central and state governments for governance.
DPSPs are not enforceable by courts but are fundamental in the governance of the country.
Hence, UCC is not a fundamental duty or right, but a Directive Principle.
