  2. B48 A
  3. C43 A
  4. D41

Explanation

The correct answer is A because Article 51 of the Indian Constitution specifically directs the State to promote international peace and security. It mandates that the State should strive to maintain just and honorable relations between nations, foster respect for international law and treaty obligations, and encourage the settlement of international disputes by arbitration. The other options represent different Directive Principles: Article 48 A focuses on the protection and improvement of the environment and safeguarding forests and wildlife. Article 43 A relates to the participation of workers in the management of industries. Article 41 deals with the right to work, education, and public assistance in certain cases. Therefore, only Article 51 pertains to international relations.
