C Correct answer
Explanation

When a state legislature is dissolved or suspended under President's Rule (Article 356), the Parliament can assume the law-making power for that state. This allows the Union Parliament to make laws for that state even on subjects normally in the State List. The President or State Government does not gain law-making powers in this situation.
