Answer

Exam answer

(a) General Emergency.

Explanation

The Constitution provides three emergencies, each with its own trigger. A General (National) Emergency under Article 352 is declared when the security of India is threatened by war, external aggression or armed rebellion — which is exactly what the question describes. Article 356 covers the failure of constitutional machinery in a State (President's Rule, options c and d being the same thing), and Article 360 covers a threat to the financial stability of the country.

In words

General Emergency.
