The correct answer is option 4. The President`s Rule in India can be extended for a maximum period of three years with the approval of Parliament. The President`s Rule is imposed in a state when the constitutional machinery in that state breaks down and the Governor`s rule cannot be implemented effectively. Initially, the President`s Rule is imposed for a period of six months. However, if the need for the extension of President`s Rule persists, it can be extended for a maximum of three years in total. This extension requires the approval of both houses of Parliament, i.e., the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. It is important to note that the President`s Rule can only be imposed and extended based on certain conditions specified in Article 356 of the Constitution of India.
