The correct answer is general emergency.

Article 352 of the Constitution of India deals with the Proclamation of Emergency, often referred to as ‘National Emergency’ or ‘General Emergency’, which can be declared on grounds of war, external aggression, or armed rebellion (originally internal disturbance).

Financial emergency is dealt with under Article 360. Failure of constitutional machinery in States (President’s Rule) is dealt with under Article 356. The suspension of fundamental rights during an emergency is provided for in Articles 358 and 359, which are linked to the proclamation under Article 352 but Article 352 itself defines the conditions and procedure for the emergency proclamation.
