Explanation:

First statement is correct as it is Fundamental Duty (Article 51A) of every citizen to denounce practices derogatory to women.

Second and third statements are incorrect. The requirement that a married woman should obtain her husband consent before applying for public employment was held to be invalid and unconstitutional. In addition, such declarations on pregnancies etc. are a violation of one's autonomy and right to dignity.

Fourth statement is correct. Article 39 envisages that all states ideally direct their policy towards securing equal pay for equal work for both men and women, and also ensuring that men and women have the right to an adequate means of livelihood.
