Explanation:

- Option 1: Golaknath Case

- In the Golaknath case (1967), the Supreme Court held that Fundamental Rights cannot be abridged or taken away by amendments, thus restoring the primacy of Fundamental Rights over the Directive Principles.

- Option 2: Keshavananda Bharti Case

- In this 1973 case, the Court introduced the 'Basic Structure Doctrine' but balanced Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles, rather than restoring primacy.

- Option 3: Minerva Mills Case

- In 1980, the Court emphasized harmony between the two, maintaining that both are essential rather than one being superior.

- Option 4: All the above cases

- Not accurate; only Golaknath clearly restored Fundamental Rights’ primacy.
