Solution

The correct option is C Directive Principles of State Policy.
The Directive Principles of State Policy, embodied in Part IV for the constitution, are directions given to the state to guide the establishment of economic and social democracy, as proposed by the Preamble. Article 39 A requires the State to provide free legal aid to ensure that opportunities for securing justice are available to all citizens irrespective of economic or other disabilities.
