{'legislative council': [4, 1, 3, 1], 'ordinary bill': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'months': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'state assembly': [1, 0, 2, 1], 'month': [9, 0, 7, 1], 'maximum period': [1, 0, 0, 0]}
The correct answer is option 4: 4 months. In the legislative process, an ordinary bill passed by the State Assembly can be delayed by the Legislative Council for a maximum period of 4 months. The Legislative Council, also known as the upper house or the second chamber, has the power to review and revise bills passed by the State Assembly, which is the lower house or the first chamber. During this review process, the Legislative Council can propose changes, amendments, or delays to the bill. In the case of an ordinary bill, the Legislative Council can delay its progress for a maximum of 4 months before it is considered passed and sent for the approval of the Governor or the President, depending on the jurisdiction.
