• A. Swaran Singh Committee
• B. Ajit Kumar Committee
• C. Bhurelal Committee
• D. Srikrishna Committee

Hint:

Important facts:

• Fundamental Duties were added by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976.

• They are listed under Article 51A.

• Originally there were 10 Fundamental Duties; the 11th duty was added by the 86th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2002.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Recall the background of Fundamental Duties.
Fundamental Duties were not part of the original Constitution and were added later on a committee's recommendation.
Step 2: Identify the committee.
The Swaran Singh Committee, set up in 1976, recommended adding a list of duties for citizens, which were then inserted through the 42nd Constitutional Amendment.
Step 3: Eliminate the other names.
Ajit Kumar Committee, Bhurelal Committee and Srikrishna Committee dealt with entirely different subjects, not Fundamental Duties.
\[ \boxed{\text{Swaran Singh Committee}} \]
