B Correct answer
Explanation

Directive Principles include better working conditions (Article 43), free education (Article 45), and animal husbandry (Article 48). Establishment of socialism is NOT explicitly stated as a Directive Principle - though the preamble mentions socialist ideals and several DPs promote social justice, none explicitly mandate establishing socialism.
