Explanation

The correct answer is A because K. V. K. Sundaram was the second Chief Election Commissioner of India, serving from 1958 to 1967. He also served as the Chairman of the Law Commission of India. He never held the position of Lok Sabha Speaker. In contrast, the other three individuals served as Speakers of the Lok Sabha during the following periods: Hukum Singh served from 1962 to 1967. G. S. Dhillon served from 1969 to 1975. Baliram Bhagat served from 1976 to 1977.
