Solution :
[d] Failure of constitutional machinery is grounds for declaration of resident's rule, while National emergency can be declared only under war, external aggression or armed rebellion. Fandamental Rights cannot be restricted under President's rule while certain Fundamental Rights can be restricted under National emergency. National emergency can be declared even before the actual occurrence of war, external aggression or armed rebellion if the President has reasons to believe that such events are imminent. Presidents rule on the other hand, can be declared only after the failure of constitutional machinery in a state.
