{'highest civil servant': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'cabinet secretary': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'principal secretary': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'home secretary': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'union government': [2, 0, 2, 1], 'prime minister': [6, 3, 0, 4], 'general': [7, 3, 8, 4], 'attorney': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The highest civil servant of the Union Government is the Cabinet Secretary. The Cabinet Secretary is the head of the civil service and acts as the principal advisor to the Prime Minister and the Cabinet. They are responsible for coordinating government policies and ensuring the smooth functioning of the administrative machinery.

Option 1: The Attorney-General is the chief legal advisor to the government and represents the government in legal matters. They are not involved in administrative functions.

Option 3: The Home Secretary is a senior position in the Ministry of Home Affairs and is responsible for internal security, border management, and administration.

Option 4: The Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister is a key aide to the Prime Minister and assists in managing the Prime Minister`s office. They are not the highest civil servant of the Union Government.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
