D. 1, 2 and 3
💡 Solution & Explanation
The Preamble is derived from Jawaharlal Nehru's Objectives Resolution and can be amended under Article 368 provided the basic structure remains intact, but it is non-justiciable. Courts cannot enforce the provisions of the Preamble directly through legal suits. The Supreme Court established the basic structure doctrine in the landmark Kesavananda Bharati case.
