The correct answer is option 1, which states that options 1, 2, and 3 are true regarding the Preamble of the Constitution of India.

Option 1 is correct because the Objective Resolution was indeed proposed by Jawaharlal Nehru and passed by the Constituent Assembly, which ultimately became the Preamble of the Indian Constitution.

Option 2 is incorrect as it states that the idea of the Preamble was borrowed from the Constitution of the USA. The correct information is that the idea of a Preamble was not directly borrowed from any specific constitution, but rather incorporated from various sources, including the French Constitution.

Option 3 is correct as the words `Socialist` and `Secular` were adopted into the Preamble of the Indian Constitution through the 42nd Amendment in 1976.

Option 4 is incorrect as the Preamble does not incorporate the Fundamental Rights of the citizens of India. The Fundamental Rights are enshrined in a separate chapter of the Indian Constitution.

In summary, options 1, 2, and 3 are the correct statements regarding the Preamble of the Constitution of India.
