​The Sixty-seventh Amendment provided for the extension of President's rule in Punjab for a total period of __________ years.
​

Correct option is C

Correct Answer:(c) Four

Explanation:
The Sixty-seventh Amendment Act of 1990 extended the duration of President's Rule in Punjab to a total period of four years. Initially, under Article 356 of the Indian Constitution, President's Rule could be imposed in a state for a maximum of three years, with parliamentary approval required every six months.
However, due to the unstable political situation in Punjab, this period was extended. The Sixty-fourth Amendment Act had earlier extended it to three and a half years, and the Sixty-seventh Amendment further extended it to four years.
