Detailed Explanation:

Answer: Option 2 — The Directive Principles of State Policy

The concentration of wealth violates the Directive Principles of State Policy, specifically Article 39(b) and 39(c) of the Constitution. Article 39(b) directs the State to ensure that the ownership and control of material resources of the community are distributed to best serve the common good, while Article 39(c) mandates that the operation of the economic system does not result in the concentration of wealth and means of production to the common detriment. These provisions form the constitutional basis for preventing economic inequality and ensuring distributive justice.
