{'prime minister': [6, 3, 0, 4], 'ministers': [2, 1, 2, 3], 'constitution': [39, 3, 11, 39], 'articles': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'information': [5, 0, 6, 20], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'article': [54, 1, 15, 30], 'council': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

The correct answer is option 1, Article 78. Article 78 of the Constitution of India specifies the duties of the Prime Minister of India. It states that the Prime Minister shall communicate to the President all decisions of the Council of Ministers relating to the administration of the affairs of the Union and proposals for legislation.

Let`s dissect the other options for a better understanding:

Option 2, Article 74, deals with the provisions related to the Council of Ministers to aid and advise the President. It states that there shall be a Council of Ministers with the Prime Minister as the head to aid and advise the President.

Option 3, Article 75, pertains to the appointment and tenure of the Prime Minister. It outlines the process for appointment, eligibility criteria, and the tenure of the Prime Minister.

Option 4, Article 81, concerns the composition and allocation of seats in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Parliament of India. It deals with the electoral mechanism and representation of different states and territories in the Lok Sabha.

Therefore, the correct answer is indeed option 1, Article 78, as it specifically mentions the requirement for the Prime Minister to furnish information related to decisions of the Council of Ministers to the President.
