Under the provisions of Article 200 of the Constitution of India, the Governor of a State may:

C.

1 and 3

D.

2 and 3

Correct option is B

Article 200 of the Indian Constitution outlines the Governor's powers regarding bills passed by the State Legislature:

  • Withhold his assent to a Bill: The Governor has the power to withhold assent to any Bill passed by the state legislature, effectively vetoing the Bill.
  • Reserve the Bill for the President's consideration: The Governor can reserve any Bill (other than Money Bills) for the consideration of the President. This typically occurs when the Governor believes the Bill may conflict with national laws or the Constitution.
  • Return the Bill (other than a Money Bill) for reconsideration: The Governor can return a Bill (except a Money Bill) to the Legislature for reconsideration, along with suggested amendments. If the Legislature passes the Bill again (with or without amendments), the Governor must give assent.

All three actions are within the Governor's authority as per Article 200.
