Answer: C

Notes:

Explanation:

When President’s Rule is proclaimed in a State under Article 356 of the Indian Constitution, it means that the constitutional machinery in the state has broken down. However, not all powers are transferred to the President.
The assembly can be either suspended or dissolved, depending on the situation.Since the state legislature is suspended or dissolved, the Parliament takes over the legislative functions for that state.
The judiciary remains independent, even during President’s Rule. The President does not assume judicial powers. Courts continue to function normally.
The President, through the Governor, takes over executive functions, and the Parliament takes over legislative functions.
