The correct answer is A (1, 2 and 3).

Article 352 of the Constitution allows for the declaration of a National Emergency. The grounds for declaring a National Emergency are war, external aggression, or armed rebellion. The term ‘internal disturbance’ was originally present but was replaced by ‘armed rebellion’ by the 44th Amendment Act, 1978, after the experience of the 1975 emergency.

An emergency can be declared by the President on the written recommendation of the Union Cabinet. It can be applied to the whole of India or only a part thereof. The proclamation of emergency must be approved by both Houses of Parliament within one month by a special majority.
