Answer 1

The correct option is A Emergency due to war, external aggression or armed rebellion

Under Article 352, the president can declare a national emergency when the security of India or a part of it is threatened by war or external aggression or armed rebellion. When a national emergency is declared on the grounds of 'war' or 'external aggression', it is known as 'External Emergency'.
Hence, A is the correct option.
