Statements 1 and 2 only are correct.
The option selecting statements 1 and 2 only is correct because Jawaharlal Nehru introduced the Objectives Resolution on December 13, 1946, laying down the fundamental principles that later guided the framing of the Constitution and inspired its Preamble. However, the resolution was unanimously adopted on January 22, 1947, making the third statement chronologically incorrect.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Evaluate Statement 1 regarding the introduction of the Objectives Resolution.
Jawaharlal Nehru moved the historic 'Objectives Resolution' in the Constituent Assembly on December 13, 1946.
This is a factual milestone in the framing process.
2
Evaluate Statement 2 regarding its philosophical link to the Preamble.
The Objectives Resolution defined the fundamental principles and values guiding the Constituent Assembly, which eventually shaped the Preamble of the Indian Constitution.
The modified version of the Objectives Resolution forms the present Preamble.
3
Evaluate Statement 3 regarding the adoption date.
The Objectives Resolution was unanimously adopted by the Constituent Assembly on January 22, 1947, not on November 26, 1949.
November 26, 1949, was the date when the Constituent Assembly adopted, enacted, and gave to themselves the Constitution of India.
