No money bill can be introduced in the Legislative Assembly of a State, except on the recommendations of

the Parliament
the Governor of the State
the President of India
a Special Committee of Ministers

The correct answer is (b).

A money bill is a bill which deals with the imposition, abolition, alteration, regulation of any tax; the borrowing of money by the government; the custody of the Consolidated Fund of India and the Contingency Fund of India; the appropriation of money out of the Consolidated Fund of India or the Contingency Fund of India; the raising and maintenance of armed forces; or the conduct of any war.

Under Article 207 of the Constitution of India, a money bill can be introduced in the Legislative Assembly of a State only on the recommendations of the Governor of the State. The Governor may, however, direct that such a bill shall be introduced in the Legislative Council of the State.

The other options are incorrect because:

(a) The Parliament is not empowered to recommend the introduction of a money bill in the Legislative Assembly of a State.
(c) The President of India is not empowered to recommend the introduction of a money bill in the Legislative Assembly of a State.
(d) A Special Committee of Ministers is not a body that is empowered to recommend the introduction of a money bill in the Legislative Assembly of a State.
