keywords: 

{'indian constitution': [102, 1, 17, 18], 'fundamental duties': [4, 0, 3, 4], 'citizens': [9, 2, 9, 40], 'composite culture': [0, 0, 0, 4], 'social injustice': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'excellence': [1, 0, 3, 4], 'activity': [3, 0, 1, 3]}

The question asks about the Fundamental Duties listed in the Indian Constitution.

Option 1 includes "To preserve the rich heritage of our composite culture" and "To protect the weaker sections from social injustice". Only the former is listed as a Fundamental Duty.

Option 2 includes "To protect the weaker sections from social injustice".This is not listed as a Fundamental Duty in the Constitution.

Option 3 includes "To preserve the rich heritage of our composite culture", "To develop the scientific temper and spirit of inquiry" and "To strive towards excellence in all spheres of individual and collective activity". All of these are listed as Fundamental Duties.

Option 4 includes all of the duties listed in the other options. But, as explained, "To protect the weaker sections from social injustice" is not listed as a Fundamental Duty in the Constitution.

So, option 3 is the correct answer as it includes all and only the duties that are listed in the Indian Constitution as Fundamental Duties.
