Answer

The provisions classified under the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) in Part IV of the Constitution of India are the organization of village panchayats (Article 40) and the separation of the judiciary from the executive (Article 50).
The Directive Principles of State Policy (Part IV) contain Article 40 (Organization of village panchayats) and Article 50 (Separation of judiciary from executive). Both are guidelines for state policy.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the constitutional domain tested
The item asks to distinguish Directive Principles of State Policy (Part IV) from Fundamental Rights (Part III) and Fundamental Duties (Part IV-A).
Clear part-wise classification is essential to distinguish obligations of the State from rights and duties of citizens.
2
Evaluate the provisions under Part IV (DPSPs)
Organization of village panchayats (Article 40) and separation of judiciary from executive (Article 50) are both listed under Part IV.
These are Gandhian and Liberal-Intellectual principles directed at State policy.
3
Filter out non-DPSP provisions
Respecting the National Flag is a Fundamental Duty under Article 51A(a) in Part IV-A, and moving the Supreme Court for rights enforcement is a Fundamental Right under Article 32 in Part III.
These belong to Part IV-A and Part III respectively.
