D Correct answer
Explanation

Internal disturbance alone is NOT adequate for national emergency proclamation. After the 44th Amendment (1978), only three grounds remain: war (Article 352), external aggression, and armed rebellion. The term 'internal disturbance' was removed to prevent misuse of emergency powers for political purposes.
