The Speaker of the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Indian Parliament, can resign from their office by addressing their resignation to the Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha.

Option 1: The President - This option is incorrect. The Speaker does not need to address their resignation to the President. The President`s role is primarily ceremonial and they do not have the authority to accept the Speaker`s resignation.

Option 2: The Prime Minister - This option is incorrect. The Speaker does not need to address their resignation to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is the head of the government, but they do not have the power to accept the Speaker`s resignation.

Option 3: The Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha - This option is correct. The Speaker can submit their resignation to the Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha, who is the second highest-ranking official in the Lok Sabha after the Speaker.

Option 4: The Chief Justice of India - This option is incorrect. The Speaker does not need to address their resignation to the Chief Justice of India. The Chief Justice`s role is primarily related to the judiciary and they do not have the authority to accept the Speaker`s resignation.

In conclusion, the correct answer is option 3, the Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha.
