Solution

The correct option is D There is no religion of the State in India
The Constitution of India stands for a secular state. Hence, it does not uphold any particular religion as the official religion of the Indian State. The Indian Constitution embodies the positive concept of secularism, i.e., giving equal respect to all religions or protecting all religions equally.
