Answer 1

Answer:

C. President's Rule

Article 356 of the Indian Constitution deals with the provisions for imposing "President's Rule" in a state when the state government is unable to function according to constitutional provisions, essentially allowing the central government to take over. This is often referred to as a "state emergency". Article 356 of the Indian Constitution, often referred to as the provision for President’s Rule, is one of the most crucial and powerful constitutional provisions that enable the Union government to take over the governance of a state. The provision, also known as State Emergency or Constitutional Emergency, comes into play when the state machinery fails, and the central government needs to step in to restore constitutional order and maintain stability.
