{'parliamentary system': [1, 0, 0, 3], 'dicameral legislature': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'states': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'britain': [18, 4, 2, 7]}

Option 1 states that both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

Assertion (A) states that India enjoys a bicameral legislature in the states. This means that the legislative bodies in the states consist of two chambers or houses – the Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council (in some states).

Reason (R) states that India`s Parliamentary system was borrowed from Britain. This means that India adopted its system of governance, including the bicameral legislature, from Britain.

In this case, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true. India does indeed have a bicameral legislature in the states, with the exception of a few states. And it is also true that India`s Parliamentary system was borrowed from Britain.

Additionally, Reason (R) correctly explains why Assertion (A) is true. India`s adoption of the Parliamentary system from Britain included the establishment of a bicameral legislature.

Therefore, option 1 - Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A - is the correct answer.
