{'lok sabha': [42, 3, 20, 27], 'deputy speaker': [0, 0, 0, 6], 'speaker': [1, 1, 0, 0], 'vice president': [3, 0, 1, 2], 'prime minister': [6, 3, 0, 4]}

The correct answer is option 4, Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha. The Speaker of the Lok Sabha is the presiding officer of the Lower House of Parliament in India. If the Speaker wants to resign from his office, he must address his resignation in writing to the Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha.

Let`s dissect the other options to understand why they are not correct:

Option 1: President of India. The President of India is the head of state and has no direct authority over the resignation of the Speaker of the Lok Sabha. The Speaker`s resignation is handled within the Parliament.

Option 2: Prime Minister of India. The Prime Minister is the head of government and also does not have authority over the Speaker`s resignation. The Speaker`s resignation is an internal matter of the Parliament.

Option 3: Vice President of India. The Vice President is the presiding officer of the Upper House of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) and does not have jurisdiction over the Speaker`s resignation from the Lok Sabha.

Therefore, the correct option is 4 - Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha, as the Speaker would address the resignation to this position.
