{'vice president': [3, 0, 1, 2], 'lok sabha': [42, 3, 20, 27], 'chief minister': [7, 1, 1, 4], 'president': [4, 0, 2, 1], 'chief justice': [14, 1, 3, 5], 'prime minister': [6, 3, 0, 4], 'offices': [3, 0, 2, 1], 'functions': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13]}

When both the President and Vice President of India`s offices are vacant, the functions will be discharged by the Chief Justice of India. The Chief Justice of India is the highest-ranking judicial officer in the country and has the authority to perform the functions of the President and Vice President in the absence of their incumbents. The Prime Minister, Chief Minister, and Speaker of the Lok Sabha do not have the power to discharge these functions. Therefore, option 3 (Chief Justice of India) is the correct answer.
