Option 1 states that when Lok Sabha is dissolved, a Bill pending in Rajya Sabha which has not been passed by Lok Sabha lapses. This means that if the Lok Sabha is dissolved before a Bill has been passed by both houses, the Bill will no longer be considered and will not become law.

Option 2 states that a Bill pending in Lok Sabha lapses when Lok Sabha is dissolved. This means that if the Lok Sabha is dissolved before a Bill has been passed by both houses, the Bill will no longer be considered and will not become law, regardless of its current stage in the Lok Sabha.

Option 3 states that a Bill passed by both houses but pending assent of the President of India does not lapse when Lok Sabha is dissolved. This means that if a Bill has been passed by both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha and is waiting for the President`s approval, it will not be affected by the dissolution of the Lok Sabha.

The correct answer is Option 4, which includes all three statements. This means that when Lok Sabha is dissolved, both Bills pending in Rajya Sabha and Bills pending in Lok Sabha will lapse, but a Bill that has already been passed by both houses and is pending assent of the President will not lapse.
