B. the powers of the Legislature of that State shall be exercisable by or under the authority of the Parliament.
C. Article 19 is suspended in that State.
D. the President can make laws relating to that State.
Answer

B

Explanation

When President's Rule is imposed under Article 356, the President can declare that the powers of the state legislature are to be exercised by the Parliament. The state governor administers on behalf of the President. The President either suspends OR dissolves the state legislative assembly (it is not automatically dissolved - option a is wrong). The Parliament passes the state legislative bills.
