The correct answer is option 3, Speaker of the Lok Sabha.

A joint sitting of the two Houses of the Indian Parliament is a session where both the Lok Sabha (Lower House) and the Rajya Sabha (Upper House) come together. During this joint sitting, the Speaker of the Lok Sabha presides over the session and manages the proceedings.

The President of India (option 1) is the head of state and does not preside over joint sittings.

The Vice-President of India (option 2) is the ex-officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha and does not preside over joint sittings either.

The Attorney-General of India (option 4) is the chief legal advisor to the government and is not involved in presiding over joint sittings.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3, Speaker of the Lok Sabha.
