Red Book
Red Book

[A] Forty second constitutional amendment act

[B] Forty fourth constitutional amendment act

[C] Eighty sixth constitutional amendment act

[D] Ninety seventh constitutional amendment act

Answer: B
Notes:

Explanation: Originally, the Constitution mentioned ‘internal disturbance’ as the third ground for the proclamation of a National Emergency, but the expression was too vague and had a wider connotation.

Hence, the 44th Amendment Act of 1978 substituted the words ‘armed rebellion’ for ‘internal disturbance’.
