Solution

The correct option is B Ireland
Directive Principles of State Policies are not enforceable in a court of law. India borrowed the DPSP from Irish Constitution of 1937 which itself had borrowed it from Spanish Constitution. Further, the Government of India Act had some “instruments of Instructions” which became the immediate source of DPSP.
