The correct option is C The Preamble and the Directive Principles of State Policy
Both preamble and Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) mention economic justice as one the objectives of Indian constitution. In Preamble there is direct mention to economic justice, which was further emphasised by adding word socialist by 42nd Amendment in 1976. However Even before the term was added by the 42nd Amendment in 1976, the Constitution had a socialist content in the form of certain Directive Principles of State Policy. The term socialist here means democratic socialism i.e. achievement of socialistic goals through democratic, evolutionary and non-violent means.
Various provisions of DPSP point towards economic justice such as the State should work to prevent concentration of wealth and means of production in a few hands, and try to ensure that ownership and control of the material resources is distributed to best serve the common good. The State should also ensure living wage and proper working conditions for workers; The State shall endeavour to provide the right to work etc
