{'advisory jurisdiction': [1, 1, 1, 0], 'advocate general': [1, 0, 1, 2], 'civil procedure code': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'state level': [2, 0, 1, 1], 'high courts': [3, 0, 1, 2], 'president ot india': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'concerned state': [0, 0, 3, 1], 'governor': [5, 1, 0, 6], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13]}

Option 1 declares that the Advocate General of a state in India is appointed by the President of India upon the Governor`s recommendation. This is not accurate as the Advocate General is appointed by the Governor of the state as per Article 165 of the Indian Constitution.

Option 2 states that High Courts have original, appellate and advisory jurisdiction at the State level as given in the Civil Procedure Code. This is correct. High courts have original jurisdiction in cases involving substantial questions of law pertaining to the interpretation of the Constitution. They also have appellate jurisdiction over the decisions of lower courts. Furthermore, they have advisory jurisdiction as they can advise the President or the Governor on any question of law.

Option 3 asserts both statements are correct. Given the inaccuracy in statement 1, this option is incorrect.

Option 4 suggests neither statement is correct. As statement 2 is correct, this option is also incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
