Solution
The correct option is D Financial Emergency
Our Constitution has provided for Emergency powers that lie in the hands of the President of India. The President doesn't have complete discretion over the matter. He can declare such an emergency only on the basis of a written request by the Cabinet.
Emergencies are of three kinds: a national emergency, imposed due to external aggression or armed rebellion; a state emergency, meant for situations in which the constitutional machinery of a state fails to work properly; and a financial emergency, in times where India's financial stability is at risk.
