Under the Indian Constitution, Concentration of Wealth violates ​

The correct answer is B) the Directive Principles of State Policy. Article 39(c) directs the State to ensure that the operation of the economic system does not result in concentration of wealth and means of production to the common detriment. Article 38(2) adds that the State must minimise inequalities in income, status, facilities and opportunities.

• A) Right to Equality (Arts 14-18): Wrong. These are enforceable fundamental rights about equality before law and non-discrimination. Wealth concentration by itself is not treated as a breach of them.
• C) Right to Freedom (Arts 19-22): Wrong. Economic concentration does not, by itself, infringe these freedoms.
• D) Concept of Welfare: Wrong as an answer. Welfare and social-economic justice appear in the Preamble and the DPSPs, but the Constitution does not state a 'concept of welfare' that can be violated in this way. The question points to a specific constitutional provision.

The core concept is that DPSPs are non-justiciable, so courts cannot strike down a policy merely for violating them, yet they guide law-making. For Mains, this links to inequality, inclusive growth and debates on wealth taxes and land ceilings.

Trap: Aspirants pick the Right to Equality because the wording sounds like inequality. Remember that the specific source of the 'concentration of wealth' principle is Article 39(c) in Part IV.
