Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Minerva Mills v Union of India held that the harmony and balance between Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles is an essential feature of the Constitution's basic structure. Fundamental Rights protect individual freedoms, while Directive Principles guide the pursuit of social and economic goals. The Court rejected giving absolute primacy to one part at the expense of the other, because constitutional goals must be pursued without destroying the rights that help realize them.
