A Correct answer
Explanation

The Preamble to the Constitution of India was adopted on October 17, 1949, which was AFTER the adoption of the operative provisions (Articles) on November 26, 1949. This is a historical fact. Option B is incorrect because the Preamble does not specifically mention fundamental rights - that's in Article 12-35. Option C is wrong because 'good livelihood' is not mentioned; the Preamble speaks of 'social, economic and political justice'. Option D is clearly wrong as the Preamble IS part of the Constitution (Kesavananda Bharati case).
