{'chinese submarine': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'sri lanka': [1, 1, 0, 2], 'maldives': [1, 0, 1, 1], 'bangladesh': [4, 0, 4, 2], 'pakistan': [3, 0, 1, 2], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'neighbouring countries': [0, 0, 0, 4], 'ports': [2, 1, 0, 1]}

Option 1: Bangladesh

Option 2: Sri Lanka

Option 3: Maldives

Option 4: Pakistan

The correct answer is option 2: Sri Lanka. In November 2014, Sri Lanka allowed a Chinese submarine to dock at one of its ports. This decision raised concerns and drew attention from India as it saw the move as a potential threat to its security interests in the region. It was seen as a significant step towards strengthening the maritime ties between China and Sri Lanka, as China has been increasing its presence in the Indian Ocean.

Bangladesh, option 1, did not allow a Chinese submarine to dock at one of its ports in November 2014.

Similarly, option 3, Maldives, did not allow a Chinese submarine to dock at one of its ports in November 2014.

Option 4, Pakistan, did not allow a Chinese submarine to dock at one of its ports in November 2014.

It is important to note that geopolitical dynamics and relationships between countries in the region can change over time, and this particular incident was specific to November 2014.
