{'jadugoda mines': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'iron ore': [4, 0, 2, 5], 'gold deposits': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'uranium deposits': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'mica deposits': [1, 0, 0, 0]}
The correct answer is option 4, uranium deposits. Jadugoda mines, located in the Indian state of Jharkhand, are known for their abundance of uranium. Uranium is a naturally occurring radioactive element that is used primarily for nuclear power generation and as a fuel for nuclear weapons. It is an important mineral resource and is mined for its valuable properties. Jadugoda mines contribute significantly to India`s uranium production, making the country self-reliant in meeting its nuclear energy needs. It is important to note that while the other options (iron ore, mica deposits, gold deposits) are also mined in various parts of India, Jadugoda mines specifically stand out for their uranium deposits.
