Answer: (C) Both 1 and 2

Both are correct. Article 37 says Directive Principles are not enforceable by any court, though they are fundamental in governance. Fundamental Duties (Article 51A) were added in 1976 by the 42nd Amendment on the recommendation of the Swaran Singh Committee. Neither statement can be rejected.
