Solution

The correct option is C Government should regulate the ownership of land and industry to reduce socio-economic inequalities
The 'socialist' term was added in the Constitution by the 42nd Amendment in 1976. Indian brand of socialism is 'democratic socialism'. Democratic socialism holds faith in a 'mixed economy' where both the public and private sectors co-exist side by side. Wealth is generated socially and should be shared equally by society. The government should regulate the ownership of land and industry to reduce socio-economic equality.
