A Correct answer
Explanation

Currently, Fundamental Rights are superior to Directive Principles. The 44th Amendment restored this position. However, between 1976-1978 (during 42nd Amendment), Directive Principles had precedence. The question likely refers to the present constitutional position where FR enjoys primacy over DP in case of conflict.
