{'legislative council': [4, 1, 3, 1], 'legislative assembly': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'parliament': [15, 1, 3, 8], 'governor': [5, 1, 0, 6], 'concerned state': [0, 0, 3, 1], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'aboliation': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'president': [4, 0, 2, 1]}

The correct answer is option 4: The Legislative Assembly of the concerned State.

In India, a state can have a bicameral legislature consisting of two houses - the Legislative Assembly (lower house) and the Legislative Council (upper house). The Legislative Assembly is directly elected by the people of the state and is responsible for making laws and representing their interests.

If the Legislative Assembly of a state decides that the Legislative Council is unnecessary or redundant, it can recommend to the Parliament for the abolition of the Legislative Council. The Parliament then considers this recommendation and has the power to pass a law abolishing the Legislative Council in that particular state.

It is important to note that neither the President of India (option 1) nor the Governor of the concerned state (option 2) have the authority to recommend the abolition of the Legislative Council. Additionally, the Legislative Council of the concerned state (option 3) does not have the power to recommend its own abolition. Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
