Answer:

A. After 44th Constitution Amendment Act

Read Explanation:

Prior to the 44th Amendment Act 1978, a proclamation of emergency could be issued on the grounds of war or external aggression or internal disturbance. The internal disturbance was a vague one, and could be misused by the executive. The Act, therefore, introduced the expression "armed rebellion" in place of internal disturbance.
