{'minimum age': [7, 0, 0, 1], 'lok sabha': [42, 3, 20, 27], 'election': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'years': [1, 0, 0, 2], 'lower house': [1, 3, 1, 1]}

The correct answer is option 3, which is 25 years. To contest an election for the Lower House (Lok Sabha) in India, a person must be at least 25 years old. This is specified in Article 84 of the Indian Constitution.

Option 1, 18 years, is incorrect. While 18 years is the minimum voting age in India, it is not the minimum age to contest an election for the Lower House.

Option 2, 20 years, is also incorrect. There is no provision for a minimum age of 20 years to contest an election for the Lower House in India.

Option 4, 30 years, is also incorrect. The minimum age to contest the election for the Lower House is 25 years, not 30 years.

Overall, option 3, 25 years, is the correct answer.
