{'lok sabha': [42, 3, 20, 27], 'chairman': [0, 0, 3, 5], 'oint sitting': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'deputy speaker': [0, 0, 0, 6], 'parliament': [15, 1, 3, 8], 'counci': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'speaker': [1, 1, 0, 0], 'person': [3, 1, 18, 13]}

The correct answer is option 3: The Speaker, Lok Sabha. In a joint sitting of the Parliament in India, the Speaker of the Lok Sabha presides over the session. A joint sitting is held when there is a disagreement between the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha on a particular bill. The Speaker is considered the highest authority in the Lok Sabha and is responsible for maintaining order during the proceedings. The Chairman of the Rajya Sabha does not preside over the joint sitting because it is convened by the President, and the Speaker is given the authority to preside in this special circumstance. Therefore, option 3 is the correct answer.
