Solution

The correct option is B Avadi Session of 1955
Even before the term 'Socialist' was added by the 42nd Amendment to the preamble in 1976, the Constitution had a socialist content in the form of certain Directive Principles of State Policy. In other words, what was hitherto implicit in the Constitution has been made explicit through the amendment. Moreover, the Congress party itself adopted a resolution to establish a ‘socialistic pattern of society’ in its Avadi session as early as in 1955 and took measures accordingly.
