Correct option is A
The correct answer is (a) 2 months
Explanation:
· President's Rule is imposed under Article 356 of the Constitution.
· A proclamation imposing President's Rule must be approved by both Houses of Parliament within two months from the date of its issue.
· If approved by both Houses, the President's Rule continues for six months.
· It can be extended for a maximum period of three years with the approval of Parliament every six months.
Information Booster:
· If the proclamation is issued when the Lok Sabha is dissolved (or dissolution takes place within the two months without approval), the proclamation survives until 30 days from the first sitting of the reconstituted Lok Sabha, provided the Rajya Sabha has approved it.
· Article 352 (National Emergency) requires approval within one month.
· Article 360 (Financial Emergency) requires approval within two months.
Additional Knowledge:

(c) 6 months (Option c)
· This is the duration for which President's Rule remains in force after approval by Parliament.
(d) 3 months (Option d)
· This duration is not a standard approval timeline for emergency provisions in the Indian Constitution.
