Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Article 352 of the Indian Constitution deals with the declaration of an emergency.
Reason (R) : An emergency may take place at any time.
Select the correct answer from the codes given below :

Assertion (A) is correct because Article 352 of the Indian Constitution provides for the Proclamation of Emergency (National Emergency) by the President if he is satisfied that a grave emergency exists whereby the security of India or any part of its territory is threatened by war, external aggression, or armed rebellion.

Reason (R) is also a true general statement, as emergencies are by nature unforeseen and can occur at any time. However, (R) does not serve as the logical or constitutional explanation for (A). The reason for the existence of Article 352 is to provide a legal mechanism to safeguard the sovereignty, unity, and security of the country during extraordinary situations, rather than simply because they can happen at any time. Therefore, while both statements are individually true, (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
