{'assam': [13, 2, 2, 11], 'arunachal pradesh': [12, 0, 8, 12], 'tribal areas': [2, 0, 2, 6], 'sixth schedule': [1, 0, 0, 8], 'manipur': [2, 1, 1, 1], 'constitution': [39, 3, 11, 39], 'meghalaya': [22, 1, 17, 41], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'tripura': [12, 1, 7, 9], 'administration': [6, 1, 11, 15]}

The Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution is a special provision that deals with the administration of tribal areas in certain states. Option 1, which includes Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, and Mizoram, is the correct answer.

Now, let`s break down the options:

Option 2 includes Meghalaya, Tripura, Manipur, and Mizoram. While Meghalaya, Tripura, and Mizoram are correct, Manipur is not covered under the Sixth Schedule.

Option 3 includes Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, and Tripura. While Assam, Meghalaya, and Tripura are covered under the Sixth Schedule, Manipur is not.

Option 4 includes Manipur, Meghalaya, Tripura, and Arunachal Pradesh. While Meghalaya, Tripura, and Manipur are part of the Sixth Schedule, Arunachal Pradesh is not.

Hence, option 1, which includes Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, and Mizoram, is the correct answer. The Sixth Schedule allows for the formation of autonomous district councils to govern these tribal areas, providing them with local self-governance and safeguarding their culture, customs, and traditions.
