D Correct answer
Explanation

The ideals enshrined in the preamble (justice, liberty, equality, fraternity) were first spelt out in the Objectives Resolution adopted by the Constituent Assembly on December 22, 1946. This Resolution was moved by Jawaharlal Nehru and contains the essence of what later became the preamble. The Nehru Report (1928) was earlier but dealt with dominion status principles. The speech on the banks of Ravi ('Purna Swaraj' declaration, 1929) was significant but didn't contain the full preamble ideals.
