Answer 1

Answer:

C. All

National Emergency (Article 352) War, external aggression, or armed rebellion. The President can declare this only after receiving a written recommendation from the entire Union Cabinet (not just the Prime Minister). 2. State Emergency / President's Rule (Article 356) Failure of the constitutional machinery in a State (Article 356) or if a State fails to comply with directions given by the Centre (Article 365). While commonly called a "State Emergency," the Constitution officially refers to it as the "Proposition of President's Rule" or "Emergency due to the failure of constitutional machinery." 3. Financial Emergency (Article 360) If the President is satisfied that a situation has arisen whereby the financial stability or credit of India (or any part of it) is threatened. To date, a Financial Emergency has never been declared in India, not even during the severe economic crisis of 1991.
