The correct answer is option 3, i.e. 3.

The word ‘log’ is a very generic term and refers to a regular or systematic record of incidents or observations. Since, in the above sentence we are more focused on the pending records or the logs thus, the word ‘backlog’ is more appropriate to be used and makes the sentence both contextually and meaningfully correct. Rest of the parts of the sentence are correct and do not require any improvement.

Hence, the sentence can be corrected as, CJI Dipak Misra has written to all high court chief justices, advising them to set up a new disposal review mechanism to clear cases on priority and reduce the backlog. Over 27 million cases are pending in various lower courts in the country.
