The correct answer is option 1: Chief Justice of India.

The President of India is administered the oath of office by the Chief Justice of India. The oath-taking ceremony usually takes place in the presence of dignitaries, including the Vice-President, Prime Minister, Members of Parliament, and other senior officials. The Chief Justice of India, being the head of the judiciary, is responsible for administering the oath to ensure a smooth and lawful transition of power. The President takes the oath to uphold the Constitution of India and perform the duties of the office faithfully. This act of administering the oath by the Chief Justice signifies the independence and separation of powers among the judiciary and the executive branches of the Indian government.
