A Correct answer
Explanation

The Preamble is non-justiciable - courts cannot enforce it directly. However, the Supreme Court has ruled that it IS part of the Constitution (Kesavananda Bharati case). The Preamble has been amended only once (42nd Amendment, 1976) to add 'socialist', 'secular', and 'integrity'.
