Answer 1

The correct option is- (a) (i) only.

• The directive principles of state policy (DPSP) are mentioned in part IV of the Indian constitution. It mentions guidelines for the government to achieve a welfare state.
• Article 51 of DPSP says that the state should promote international peace and security. This shows that the state should respect the sovereignty of other countries. The state should respect the international laws and treaties and maintain good relations with the other nations.
