{'rajya sabha': [50, 3, 22, 40], 'state list': [3, 0, 0, 0], 'parliament': [15, 1, 3, 8], 'law': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'states': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'subject': [2, 1, 6, 6], 'voting': [2, 2, 5, 6]}

Option 1 states that even though the State List is exclusively reserved for the states, Parliament can still legislate under certain circumstances. This means that Parliament has the authority to pass laws on subjects under the State List under specific conditions.

Option 2 states that Parliament cannot legislate a subject under the State List under any circumstances. This statement is incorrect as mentioned in option 1.

Option 3 states that a resolution supported by two-thirds of the members present and voting is required to be passed by the Rajya Sabha to pass a law under the State List. This statement is correct, meaning that a majority of votes in the Rajya Sabha is needed to pass a law pertaining to the State List.

Based on the dissection of the options, the correct answer is option 3, which includes statements 1 and 3. It confirms that even though the State List is mostly reserved for the states, Parliament can legislate in specific situations, and a resolution with a two-thirds majority in the Rajya Sabha is required to pass a law related to the State List.
