Solution

The correct option is C 1979
The word ‘Cabinet’ wasn’t in the Constitution until the year 1978. The next year, 1979 saw the 44th Amendment to the Constitution coming into force. According to this, the President cannot issue a National Emergency unless the Union Cabinet makes the decision, and sends it in writing.

The word 'Cabinet' is mentioned only once in the Indian Constitution in Article 352(3) which states that "the President shall not issue a proclamation unless the Union Cabinet communicates him in writing that such a proclamation may be issued".
