Explanation

Under Article 200 of the Constitution of India, when a bill passed by the State Legislature is presented to the Governor, they have four primary options. First, the Governor may declare assent to the bill. Second, the Governor may withhold assent, which effectively prevents the bill from becoming an Act [1]. Third, the Governor may reserve the bill for the consideration of the President [2]. This is mandatory if the bill endangers the position of the High Court. Fourth, the Governor may return the bill (if it is not a Money Bill) to the Legislature with a message requesting reconsideration. If the Legislature passes the bill again, with or without amendments, the Governor is constitutionally bound to grant assent [1]. Thus, all three statements correctly describe the Governor's powers under Article 200.
