Answer: B
Detailed Explanation
Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP):
Article 50 of the Indian Constitution specifically enjoins the separation of the judiciary from the executive in the public services of the state.

The DPSPs, found in Articles 36 to 51, guide the state in formulating policies and laws, but they are not enforceable by any court.
Preamble:
The Preamble is the introduction to the Constitution and sets out the philosophy and objectives of the Constitution, but it does not specifically mention the separation of judiciary from the executive.
