This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2023 Electronic Science Question Paper (13-Dec-2023) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

A, B, C, D and E

The correct answer is A, B, C, D and E — tolerant, peaceful, inclusive, secure and sustainable.

NEP 2020 discusses Global Citizenship Education (GCED) as a direct response to contemporary global challenges such as climate change, conflict, inequality and social exclusion. The policy's aim is holistic: education should not merely transmit knowledge but should shape citizens who can build better societies along several dimensions at once. Accordingly, learners are to become active promoters of societies that are tolerant (respecting diversity and difference), peaceful (resolving conflict without violence), inclusive (leaving no group marginalised), secure (safe and stable for all), and sustainable (protecting resources for future generations).

Because the question asks for all the qualities GCED seeks to cultivate, and every one of the five listed values reflects a genuine aim of this NEP provision, the fully inclusive choice is correct.

The choices that pick out only a subset — such as the one naming just peaceful, inclusive and sustainable, or the one naming just peaceful, secure and sustainable, or the pairing of tolerant with inclusive — are each incomplete. They drop one or more values that GCED explicitly seeks to promote, and an incomplete list cannot be the "most appropriate" answer when a complete one is available.

Hence the answer is A, B, C, D and E.
