keywords: 

{'annual rainfall': [1, 0, 0, 2], 'meghalaya': [22, 1, 17, 41], 'kashmir': [3, 1, 2, 2], 'konkan coast': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'area': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'coromandel coast': [3, 0, 1, 4]}

Option 1: Meghalaya is incorrect because it is known for its high rainfall, receiving an average of 1200 cm per year.

Option 2: Leh in Kashmir is the correct answer. It is located in a high altitude desert region, which receives very low annual rainfall, typically less than 50 cm.

Option 3: Coromandel coast is incorrect because it receives a moderate amount of rainfall, ranging from 75 to 200 cm per year.

Option 4: Konkan coast is incorrect as well, because it receives a significant amount of rainfall, ranging from 200 to 400 cm per year.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2, Leh in Kashmir, as it is the only region mentioned that falls within the criteria of having annual rainfall less than 50 cm.
