The correct answer is Option 2 - The Governor can dissolve the Legislative Assembly of a State.

Out of the given options, only the Governor can dissolve the Legislative Assembly of a State.

The Vice-President and the Speaker of the Lok Sabha don't have the authority to dissolve legislative bodies.
