Answer: (Detailed Solution Below)

Option C: 6 months

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “6 months”.
The proclamation of the Emergency must be approved by both the houses of the Parliament within one month from the date of its issue.

If approved by both the houses, the Emergency continues for 6 months and can be extended to an indefinite period with an approval of the Parliament for every six months.

Every resolution approving the proclamation of emergency or its continuance must be passed by either House of Parliament by a special majority.

In the Indian Parliament, a special majority is a majority of two-thirds of members present and voting, supported by more than half of the house's actual strength.
