{'state legislature': [2, 0, 0, 2], 'legislature': [3, 0, 1, 3], 'assent': [0, 0, 0, 3], 'provisions': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'money bill': [7, 1, 3, 9], 'constitution': [39, 3, 11, 39], 'bill': [16, 1, 6, 29], 'governor': [5, 1, 0, 6], 'consideration': [0, 0, 1, 8]}

Option 1 states that under Article 200 of the Constitution of India, the Governor of a state can withhold his assent to a bill passed by the state legislature. This means that the Governor has the power to refuse to approve a bill, preventing it from becoming law.

Option 2 states that the Governor can reserve the bill passed by the state legislature for the consideration of the President. This means that the Governor can send the bill to the President for further review and approval. The President may either give his assent to the bill or withhold it.

Option 3 states that the Governor can return the bill, other than a money bill, for reconsideration of the legislature. This means that if the Governor has objections or concerns about a bill, he can send it back to the state legislature and request that it be reconsidered.

Therefore, all three statements are correct. The Governor has the power to withhold assent, reserve the bill for the President`s consideration, and return the bill for reconsideration by the legislature.
