Exam answer

(a) There is a threat to the security of the country.

Explanation

A National (General) Emergency under Article 352 is proclaimed when the security of India is threatened by war, external aggression or armed rebellion. The distractors describe the OTHER two emergencies, which is exactly the confusion being tested: financial instability triggers a Financial Emergency (Article 360), and a report from the Governor triggers President’s Rule in a State (Article 356). Learn the three triggers together with their articles.

In words

There is a threat to the security of the country.
