{'national legal services authority': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'legal services authorities act': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'competent legal services': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'state legal services authorities': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'nalsa': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'honble chief justice': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'supreme court': [12, 1, 4, 14], 'authority': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'legal programmes': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'disputes': [1, 0, 2, 0], 'executive chairman': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'guidelines': [0, 0, 4, 3], 'amicable settlement': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

The correct answer is option 1. The statement that the Hon`ble Chief Justice of Supreme Court is the Executive Chairman of the Authority is not correct. Option 2 states the correct objective of NALSA, which is to provide free and competent legal services to the weaker sections of society on the basis of equal opportunity. Option 3 is also correct, as NALSA issues guidelines for the State Legal Services Authorities to implement legal programs and schemes across the country. Option 4 is correct as well, as one of NALSA`s functions is to organize Lok Adalats for the amicable settlement of disputes.

In conclusion, option 1 is not correct because the Hon`ble Chief Justice of Supreme Court is not the Executive Chairman of NALSA.
