{'central government': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'directives': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'state legislature': [2, 0, 0, 2], 'compliance': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'president': [4, 0, 2, 1], 'governance': [4, 1, 1, 13], 'paramilitary forces': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'constitu': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'responsibility': [3, 1, 3, 5], 'fresh elections': [1, 0, 1, 0]}

Option 1: The President does not have the power to dissolve State Legislature and order fresh elections as a response to a state`s failure to comply with the directives of the Central Government. This option is incorrect.

Option 2: The correct answer. If a state fails to comply with the directives of the Central Government, the President has the authority to declare a breakdown of constitutional machinery in the state. This means that the state government is unable to function properly, and the President can assume responsibility for the governance of the state.

Option 3: While the President can send paramilitary forces to a state under certain circumstances, this option does not specifically address the response to a state`s failure to comply with the directives of the Central Government. Therefore, it is not the correct answer.

Option 4: This is the correct answer. The President can choose any of the above options depending on the severity of the situation and the circumstances at hand.
