Question

Accepted Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Identify the topic: The provision about protecting and improving the environment and safeguarding forests and wildlife is part of the Directive Principles of State Policy (Part IV) of the Constitution.

2. Recall the specific Article: The Constitution (Forty-second Amendment) Act, 1976 inserted Article $48	ext{-}A$, which states that the State shall endeavour to protect and improve the environment and to safeguard the forests and wildlife of the country.

3. Eliminate other options: Articles listed as 47-A, 47-B, or 49-C are not the correct or existing designations for this Directive Principle.

Therefore the correct answer is option (3), i.e., Article $48	ext{-}A$.
