{'freedom': [1, 1, 2, 2], 'constitution': [39, 3, 11, 39], 'executive order': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'parliament': [15, 1, 3, 8], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'law': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is option 3: freedom of the press in India is implied in the right of freedom of expression.

Option 1 suggests that freedom of the press is available to the people under the law of the Parliament. While laws passed by the Parliament do play a role in ensuring freedom of the press, the right itself is not solely dependent on these laws.

Option 2 states that freedom of the press is specifically provided in the Constitution. While the Constitution does protect freedom of speech and expression, it does not specifically mention freedom of the press separately.

Option 4 suggests that freedom of the press is available to the people of India under executive order. This is not accurate as executive orders do not grant or protect fundamental rights such as freedom of the press.

Therefore, option 3 is the most appropriate answer as freedom of the press in India is implied in the broader right of freedom of expression, which is protected by the Constitution and international human rights norms.
