Exam answer
The SPEAKER is the Presiding Officer of the Lok Sabha. He is elected by the members of the Lok Sabha from among themselves.
Explanation
One word earns the mark, but naming how he is chosen protects you if the question is a two-parter. Keep the two Houses apart: the Lok Sabha is presided over by the SPEAKER, elected by that House alone; the Rajya Sabha by the VICE-PRESIDENT, its ex-officio Chairman, who is not even a member of the House he presides over.
