Correct Answer: B. 2 only
Explanation
The 42nd Amendment Act (1976) added three new words to the Preamble: Socialist, Secular, and Integrity. It changed 'Unity of the Nation' to 'Unity and Integrity of the Nation'. Statement 1 is incorrect as the original Preamble already included 'Liberty of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship'.
