D Correct answer
Explanation

Article 356 provides for the imposition of President's Rule in a state if the constitutional machinery fails, meaning the state cannot function according to the constitutional provisions. This allows the President to assume all state powers and suspend the state legislature. It is not related to job reservations (Article 16), religious monuments, or Jammu and Kashmir's special status (Article 370).
