AArticle 250

BArticle 252

CArticle 254

DNone of the above

Answer:

A. Article 250

Read Explanation:

  • Article 250 of the Indian Constitution grants the Parliament the power to make laws on any subject mentioned in the State List if a Proclamation of Emergency is in operation.

  • This provision is a significant feature of India's quasi-federal system, as it temporarily overrides the normal distribution of legislative powers between the Union and the States.

  • This allows the central government to have unified legislative control to effectively handle a national crisis.
