The correct option is C Respect the President

The Fundamental Duties or National Duties of citizens were added to the Constitution by the 42nd Amendment in 1976, upon the recommendations of the Swaran Singh Committee that was constituted by the government earlier that year. It shall be the duty of every citizen of India :

  7. To develop the scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and reform.
