- minimum wage to the workers
- living wage to the workers
- statutory minimum wage to the workers

Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - living wage to the workers
Article 43 directs the State to endeavour to secure to all workers work, a living wage and conditions of work ensuring a decent standard of life and full enjoyment of leisure. A living wage goes beyond a minimum wage: it covers not just bare subsistence but also health, education and some comforts. The Article does not speak of a minimum or real wage.
