The correct answer is option 3 - Maharashtra. A bicameral legislature is a system where the legislative branch of the government is divided into two separate chambers or houses. These two chambers typically include an upper house, known as the Legislative Council or Vidhan Parishad, and a lower house, known as the Legislative Assembly or Vidhan Sabha.

In the case of Maharashtra, it has a bicameral legislature with a Legislative Council and a Legislative Assembly. The Legislative Council consists of members who are indirectly elected by various local bodies, MLAs, and other entities. On the other hand, the Legislative Assembly consists of directly elected members representing various constituencies.

Therefore, the correct option is Maharashtra as it has a bicameral legislature with two separate chambers - the Legislative Council and the Legislative Assembly.
