{'lok sabha': [42, 3, 20, 27], 'federal structure': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'rights': [0, 0, 1, 4], 'unitary structure': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'operation': [2, 0, 4, 3], 'citizens': [9, 2, 9, 40], 'enforcement': [3, 1, 2, 7], 'articles': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'court': [11, 1, 18, 32]}

The correct answer is option 3, which states that statements 1 and 3 are correct.

Statement 1: During the operation of Emergency in India, the federal structure of the country is not converted into a unitary structure. The federal structure remains intact, but certain powers and functions may be centralized to the central government during this period.

Statement 2: During the operation of Emergency, the right of citizens to move the court for the enforcement of the rights contained in Articles 20 and 21 can indeed be suspended. This means that the government can restrict access to the courts for seeking justice related to these rights during this period.

Statement 3: During the operation of Emergency, the Lok Sabha, which is the lower house of the Parliament in India, can extend its normal life by a year at a time. This means that the term of the Lok Sabha can be extended beyond the usual 5-year term during this period.

Therefore, option 3 is the correct answer as it correctly identifies that statements 1 and 3 are correct.
