{'governor': [5, 1, 0, 6], 'prime minister': [6, 3, 0, 4], 'former chief minister': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'own discretion': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'legislative assembly': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'president': [4, 0, 2, 1], 'party': [10, 2, 7, 13], 'absolute majority': [3, 0, 2, 2], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'advice': [1, 0, 0, 0]}

In case no party enjoys an absolute majority in the Legislative Assembly of a state, the Governor will go by his own discretion. This means that the Governor has the power to decide the course of action in such a scenario.

Option 1: The advice of the former Chief Minister is not applicable in this situation as the Chief Minister no longer holds power if no party has an absolute majority.

Option 2: The advice of the Prime Minister is also not applicable in this situation as the Prime Minister`s role is at the national level and does not directly influence the functioning of a state`s Legislative Assembly.

Option 3: The advice of the President of India is also not applicable in this situation as the President`s role is mainly ceremonial and does not involve direct involvement in the functioning of a state`s Legislative Assembly.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4, that the Governor will go by his own discretion.
