Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: The Preamble is the "Identity Card" of the Constitution. The specific order of its words reflects the priority of values intended by the founding fathers.

Step 1: The Opening Phrase.
The Preamble begins with the source of authority: "We, the people of India (B)..."

Step 2: The Pillars of the Republic.
After declaring the nature of the state (Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic, Republic), it lists the objectives for its citizens in this exact order:
• Justice (C): social, economic, and political;
• Liberty (A): of thought, expression, belief, faith, and worship;
• Equality (D): of status and of opportunity;
• Fraternity (E): assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation.

Step 3: Final Sequence.
The sequence B $\rightarrow$ C $\rightarrow$ A $\rightarrow$ D $\rightarrow$ E matches the text of the Preamble as it is read from top to bottom. This corresponds to Option (3).
