  2. B1 and 2 onlyCorrect
  3. C2 and 3 only
  4. D1, 2 and 3

Explanation

The provided correct answer is B, which means statements 1 and 2 are correct, while statement 3 is incorrect. Statement 1 is correct because the Governor of a state has the constitutional power to nominate members to the Legislative Council if the state has a bicameral legislature. These members are chosen from people having special knowledge or practical experience in fields such as literature, science, art, cooperative movement, and social service. Statement 2 is correct because the Governor is an integral part of the State Legislature, just as the President is an integral part of the Parliament. No bill passed by the state legislature can become law without the assent of the Governor. Statement 3 is incorrect because the Governor does not have the power to appoint judges of the High Court. According to the Constitution, judges of the High Court are appointed by the President of India. The Governor is only consulted by the President during the appointment process.
