B Correct answer
Explanation

The 42nd Amendment (1976) added the words 'Socialist', 'Secular', and 'Integrity' to the Preamble. 'Sovereign', 'Democratic', and 'Republic' were already present in the original Preamble. 'Federal' was deliberately not included - India is 'Union of States', not a federal structure.
