Exp) Option c is the correct answer.

Statement 1 is correct. Under Article 352, the President can declare a national emergency when the security of India or a part of it is threatened by war or external aggression or armed rebellion. It may be noted that the president can declare a national emergency even before the actual occurrence of war or external aggression or armed rebellion, if he is satisfied that there is an imminent danger. The President, however, can proclaim a national emergency only after receiving a written recommendation from the cabinet.

Statement 2 is correct. Lok Sabha is authorised for disapproving the continuation of the proclamation of National emergency. The 44th Amendment Act of 1978 provided that, where one-tenth of the total number of members of the Lok Sabha give a written notice to the Speaker, a special sitting of the House should be held within 14 days for the purpose of considering a resolution disapproving the continuation of the proclamation. The President must revoke a proclamation if the Lok Sabha passes a resolution disapproving its continuation.
