Explanation:

Unlike some of the Fundamental Rights which extend to all persons whether citizens or foreigners, the Fundamental Duties are confined to citizens only and do not extend to foreigners. So, statement 1 is wrong as residents of India may include foreign citizens also.
Like the Directive Principles, the fundamental duties are also non-justiciable. The Constitution does not provide for their direct enforcement by the courts. Moreover, there is not legal sanction against their violation. However, the Parliament is free to enforce them by suitable legislation. So, statement 2 is also wrong.

Hence option 4th is correct.

option 2 shall not be the answer sir, as parliament is free to enforce them but it cannot impose legal sanction?

Shubham Tiwari

But the Parliament is free to enforce them by suitable legislation. for example the last subsection, (k), on the education of children, was added in 2002 by The Constitution (86th Amendment) Act. The same amendment also introduced Article 21A in the Constitution: “The State shall provide free and compulsory education to all children of the age of six to fourteen years in such manner as the State may, by law, determine.”
