Solution

The correct option is C Due respect to all the religions.
The Indian secularism embodies the idea of State neutrality towards any religion. It means that the state shall not promote any one religion in the country and on the other hand, it shall foster respect to all the religions in the country. India being a secular nation means that it shall have no state religion.
