Consider the following statements : With reference to the Constitution of India, the Directive Principles of State Policy constitute limitations upon 1. legislative function. 2. executive function. Which of the above statements is/are correct ?

Option (d) is correct because Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) are positive obligations and fundamental guidelines for governance, rather than restrictive "limitations" on state power. Option (c) is the most tempting wrong choice because students often confuse DPSP with Fundamental Rights, which act as negative obligations and legal checks on legislative and executive functions. The core concept tested is the distinction between the affirmative nature of DPSP (instructions to the State) and the restrictive nature of Fundamental Rights (limitations on the State).
