Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

The Preamble describes India as a "SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC", so secularism, socialism and the democratic republic all appear in it. The word "federation" is not used in the Preamble or anywhere else in the Constitution: Article 1 calls India a "Union of States", although the Constitution has many federal features.
