A Correct answer
Explanation

President's rule (under Article 356) can initially be imposed for 6 months with parliamentary approval. It can be extended up to a maximum of 1 year (3 years in exceptional circumstances with constitutional amendments, but the question asks for the standard maximum). However, even 1 year requires parliamentary approval every 6 months.
