{'lok sabha': [42, 3, 20, 27], 'overseas indians': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'election': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'citizens': [9, 2, 9, 40]}

The correct answer of this question is option 1: I, II, and III. This means all the conditions are necessary for an overseas Indian to vote in Lok Sabha elections.

Condition I states that they must be citizens of India. This is essential because voting rights in Lok Sabha elections are granted to Indian citizens only.

Condition II states that their names must be included in the electoral roll. The electoral roll is a list of all persons who are eligible to vote in a particular electoral district. If an overseas Indian`s name isn`t on this list, then they won`t be able to vote.

Condition III states that they must be present in India to vote. Despite being overseas, the current law requires an overseas Indian to be physically present at the polling station in India to be able to exercise their voting rights.

Therefore, all these three conditions are crucial for an overseas Indian to vote in Lok Sabha elections. Therefore, the entire statement, including I, II, and III, is accurate, making option 1 the right choice.
