Which of the following were added to the Preamble of the Constitution of India by the Constitutional Amendment, 1976? 1. Socialist 2. Secular 3. Integrity 4. Fraternity Select the correct answer using the code given below.

The Preamble of the Constitution of India has been amended only once by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1976. This amendment inserted three new words into the Preamble: 'Socialist', 'Secular', and 'Integrity' [3]. Specifically, it changed the description of India from a 'Sovereign Democratic Republic' to a 'Sovereign Socialist Secular Democratic Republic' [3]. Additionally, it modified the phrase 'unity of the Nation' to 'unity and integrity of the Nation' [4]. While 'Fraternity' was part of the original Preamble adopted in 1949 to assure the dignity of the individual, the specific term 'integrity' was the addition made in 1976 to the fraternity section [3]. Therefore, statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct, while statement 4 (Fraternity) was already present in the original text.
