{'special economic zones': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'processing zones': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'export': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'vadodara': [2, 2, 4, 2], 'sezs': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'surat': [2, 0, 0, 0], 'vishakhapatnam': [9, 0, 4, 6], 'location': [5, 0, 10, 11]}
The correct answer is option 3: Vadodara.
The question states that 8 Export Processing Zones (EPZs) have been converted into Special Economic Zones (SEZs). SEZs are designated areas in a country that are specifically set up to attract foreign investment and promote economic growth. They usually offer various incentives to businesses, such as tax breaks and easier regulations.
Options 1, 2, and 4 - NOIDA, Surat, and Vishakhapatnam - are all locations that have been converted into SEZs. However, option 3, Vadodara, is not mentioned as one of the locations that have been converted.
In summary, the question is asking for the location that has not been converted into an SEZ, and the correct answer is option 3: Vadodara.
