  • (C) They are enforceable against the state and in some cases against private persons: This is incorrect. Fundamental duties primarily apply to citizens, not the state. They are not directly enforceable against private persons.
  • (D) They prescribe duties of the state and aim at promoting welfare of the people: This is incorrect. Fundamental duties are primarily concerned with the obligations of citizens, not the state.
  • (E) They are not enforceable by any court of law: This is correct. While fundamental duties are important, they are not legally enforceable in the same way as fundamental rights.
