Answer: D

Notes:

Explanation:

During a National Emergency (Article 352), Parliament can legislate on State List subjects (Article 250). However, such laws do not become invalid automatically after the emergency ends.
Instead, they remain in force for six months after the emergency ceases.
During a Financial Emergency (Article 360), the President can direct that Money Bills or financial bills passed by the State Legislature be reserved for his consideration — after their passage, not before.
