{'lok sabha': [42, 3, 20, 27], 'first woman': [5, 0, 1, 3], 'veejaylaksmi pandit': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'meira kumar': [3, 0, 1, 1], 'pratibha patil': [3, 0, 0, 1], 'speaker': [1, 1, 0, 0], 'sarojini naidu': [18, 1, 7, 7]}

The correct answer is option 3: Meira Kumar.

Option 1: Pratibha Patil is incorrect because she served as the President of India from 2007 to 2012, not as the Speaker of Lok Sabha.

Option 2: Veejaylaksmi Pandit is also incorrect. While she was a prominent political figure in India and served as the President of the United Nations General Assembly, she did not serve as the Speaker of Lok Sabha.

Option 4: Sarojini Naidu is incorrect as well. She was a renowned freedom fighter and poet, but she did not hold the position of the Speaker of Lok Sabha.

Meira Kumar, on the other hand, became the first woman to be elected as the Speaker of Lok Sabha in 2009. She held this position until 2014, making significant contributions to the functioning of the Parliament during her tenure.
