{'highest rainfall': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'mawsynram': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'assam': [13, 2, 2, 11], 'bangladesh': [4, 0, 4, 2], 'meghalaya': [22, 1, 17, 41]}

The correct answer is option 3: Meghalaya. Mawsynram, which experiences the highest rainfall, is indeed located in the state of Meghalaya.

Let`s analyze the other options to understand why they are not correct:

Option 1: Assam. While Assam is a neighboring state to Meghalaya, Mawsynram is not located in Assam. It is important to note that while Assam does receive significant rainfall, Mawsynram holds the record for the highest average annual rainfall in the world.

Option 2: Bangladesh. Although Bangladesh is nearby and also experiences heavy rainfall, Mawsynram is not located in Bangladesh either. It is exclusively located within the borders of India.

Option 4: Tripura. Tripura is another neighboring state to Meghalaya, but Mawsynram is not located in Tripura. It is important to recognize that Meghalaya is home to various regions that receive exceptionally high rainfall.

In conclusion, Mawsynram, known for its highest rainfall, is located in Meghalaya, India.
