{'harsha vardhan': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'chinese pilgrim': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'hiuen tsang': [2, 0, 0, 2], 'nishka': [2, 0, 0, 0], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13]}
The correct answer is option 4, Hiuen Tsang. Hiuen Tsang, also known as Xuanzang, was a Chinese Buddhist monk and scholar who traveled to India during the period of Harsha Vardhan, a 7th-century ruler in northern India.
Option 1, Fa-hien, is also a Chinese pilgrim who visited India, but he had undertaken his journey much earlier, in the 5th century AD.
Option 2, I`tsing, was a Chinese Buddhist monk who traveled to India during the 7th century AD as well, but he arrived after Harsha Vardhan`s period.
Option 3, Nishka, does not refer to a Chinese pilgrim but is a denomination of ancient Indian coins.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 4, Hiuen Tsang, as he is the Chinese pilgrim who visited India during Harsha Vardhan`s period.
