Correct Answer - Option 4 : Spokesperson of Rajya Sabha before Lok Sabha and President

The correct answer is Spokesperson of Rajya Sabha before Lok Sabha and President.

The Vice President is not a spokesperson of Rajya Sabha before Lok Sabha and President, on working as the Chairman of Rajya Sabha.

The vice-President of India is the second-highest constitutional post in India after the President.
Article 63 of the Indian Constitution states that "There shall be a vice president of India."
The vice president acts as President within the absence of the president thanks to death, resignation, impeachment, or other situations.
The vice president of India is additionally ex officio Chairperson of the Rajya Sabha.
When a bill is introduced in Rajya Sabha, the vice president decides whether it's a financial bill or not.
If he's of the opinion, a bill introduced within the Rajya Sabha may be a money bill, he would refer the case to the Speaker of the Lok Sabha for deciding it.

Part V of the Constitution of India under Chapter I (Executive) also discusses the office of the Vice-President of India.
Articles (63-73) describe the election, removal, post, requirement, etc of the Vice President of India.

Currently, M. Venkiah Naidu is the Vice-President of India.
Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was the first Vice President of independent India, takes charge of the office in 1952.
