-

-

Article 72
-
D.
Article 110
Correct Answer:
A. Article 123
Explanation:
Article 123 of the Indian Constitution empowers the President to promulgate ordinances when either House of Parliament is not in session. This legislative power allows the executive to take immediate action when circumstances require it, provided the Parliament is unable to pass regular legislation. Such ordinances carry the same legal weight as an Act of Parliament but must be approved by the legislature within six weeks of its reassembly to remain in effect. Other provisions, like Article 356, Article 72, and Article 110, relate to state emergencies, presidential pardons, and money bills, respectively.
