The correct answer is option 2: Supreme Court of India.

When a dispute arises out of the election of the President of India, it is referred to the Supreme Court of India. The President of India is elected by an electoral college consisting of the elected members of both houses of Parliament, as well as the elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of the states.

The role of the Supreme Court in this matter is to be the final adjudicator. If there is any question or dispute regarding the election of the President, it is the Supreme Court that has the authority to resolve it. The Supreme Court`s decision in such cases is considered final and cannot be questioned or appealed further.

It is important to note that the Election Commission of India (option 1) plays a crucial role in conducting and overseeing the elections, but when it comes to disputes arising from the election of the President, the Supreme Court has the ultimate authority to settle them.

Alert - correct answer should be option 3: Lok Sabha.
