The correct answer is

To determine the correct order of precedence for ceremonial occasions as per the Table of Precedence approved by the President of India, we need to understand the hierarchy of these offices:

  1. The Vice President of India: The Vice President holds the second-highest constitutional office in India, ranking just below the President.
  2. The Prime Minister of India: The Prime Minister is the chief executive of the Government of India and plays a significant role in governance, ranking high in precedence but below the Vice President.
  3. The Governors within their respective States: Governors are the heads of their respective states and have a specific constitutional role, but their ranking in precedence is below the Prime Minister and Vice President.
  4. The Speaker of the Lok Sabha: The Speaker is in charge of the Lok Sabha and conducts its proceedings but ranks below the Vice President, Prime Minister, and Governors.

Based on this hierarchy, the order of these offices for ceremonial occasions is:

  1. The Vice President of India
  2. The Prime Minister of India
  3. The Governors within their respective States
  4. The Speaker of the Lok Sabha

Therefore, the correct order in the Table of Precedence is: I, III, II, IV.
