{'legislative council': [4, 1, 3, 1], 'bihar': [1, 0, 2, 2], 'west bengal': [1, 0, 0, 3], 'punjab': [2, 0, 1, 0], 'orissa': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'states': [1, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is option 1: Bihar.

A Legislative Council, also known as an upper house or Vidhan Parishad, is a part of the legislative system in some states of India. It acts as a revising chamber, where members debate and amend bills before they become law.

In this question, the states listed are Bihar, Orissa (now known as Odisha), West Bengal, and Punjab. Among these states, only Bihar has a Legislative Council. This means that Bihar has a bicameral legislature, consisting of two houses - the Legislative Assembly (or Vidhan Sabha) and the Legislative Council (or Vidhan Parishad).

It is important to note that the other states listed - Orissa, West Bengal, and Punjab - have a unicameral legislature, which means they have only one house, the Legislative Assembly.
