{'resignation letter': [2, 0, 0, 0], 'chief justice': [14, 1, 3, 5], 'secretary': [2, 1, 6, 8], 'prime minister': [6, 3, 0, 4], 'president': [4, 0, 2, 1], 'lok sabha': [42, 3, 20, 27], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13]}

If the President of India wishes to resign, he is required to address his resignation letter to the Vice-President of India. The Vice-President holds the second highest office in the country and acts as the President in case of the President`s resignation, death, or inability to discharge his duties.

Option 1, Chief Justice of India, is incorrect. The Chief Justice of India is the head of the judiciary and is not involved in the process of the President`s resignation.

Option 2, Secretary of Lok Sabha, is incorrect. The Secretary of Lok Sabha is responsible for administrative matters of the lower house of Parliament and does not have a role in the President`s resignation.

Option 4, Prime Minister, is incorrect. While the Prime Minister is an important constitutional position, the President does not address his resignation letter to the Prime Minister.

Therefore, option 3, Vice-President, is the correct answer.
