- Statement (a) is correct: Under Article 200, the Governor can reserve a bill for the consideration of the President. This is mandatory if the bill endangers the position of the state High Court, and discretionary otherwise. - Statement (b) is correct: Under Article 201, when a bill is reserved for the President's consideration, the President may assent to the bill, withhold assent, or direct the Governor to return the bill to the State Legislature for reconsideration (if it is not a Money Bill). - Statement (c) is incorrect: If the President directs the return of a bill and the State Legislature passes it again and presents it to the President for assent, the President is not bound to give assent. The President can again withhold assent or return the bill. This contrasts with the Governor's position under Article 200 (for ordinary bills) or the President's position under Article 111 (for Union bills returned by the President and passed again by Parliament), where they are generally bound to give assent. - Statement (d) is correct: Article 201 does not prescribe any time limit within which the President must take a decision on a state bill reserved for consideration.
