Which of the following statements is/are true of the Fundamental Duties of an Indian citizen?
  1. A legislative process has been provided to enforce these
  2. They are correlative to legal duties.
Select the correct answer using the code given below:

Explanation

The correct option is "Neither 1 nor 2" because the Fundamental Duties enshrined in Article 51A of the Indian Constitution do not have a legislative process for enforcement; they are primarily moral obligations rather than legal mandates. Additionally, Fundamental Duties are not correlative to legal duties, as they are not enforceable by law, and failure to adhere to them does not result in legal penalties, distinguishing them from rights or legal responsibilities under the framework of the Indian legal system.
