Answer: C

Notes:

Explanation:

When President’s Rule is imposed in a state under Article 356, it means the President has taken over the functions of the state government due to the failure of the constitutional machinery in that state.
However, the President does not directly exercise legislative powers. Instead, the Parliament is empowered to make laws on behalf of the state legislature.
This delegation of power is specifically provided under Article 357 of the Constitution.
