Answer: (A) 42nd Amendment

The Constitution (Forty-second Amendment) Act, 1976, passed during the Emergency, inserted these words into the Preamble. The 44th Amendment of 1978 undid some of the changes but left the Preamble untouched, the 24th dealt with Parliament's power to amend fundamental rights, and the 73rd with Panchayati Raj.
