Model Answer
(b) Secular
Explanation
A 'secular' state has no official religion and allows all citizens to freely follow any religion. The source text confirms both points: India's Constitution gives no special status to any religion and provides freedom to profess, practice, and propagate any religion. This is the definition of a secular state.
