{'vs ramadevi': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'female indian high commissioner': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'female chief election commissioner': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'governor': [5, 1, 0, 6], 'karnataka': [5, 0, 6, 5], 'himachal pradesh': [6, 1, 6, 4], 'bengaluru': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13]}

The correct answer is option 2. VS Ramadevi, who passed away in Bengaluru on 17 April, 2013, held the distinction of being the only female Chief Election Commissioner of India. This means that she served as the head of the Election Commission of India, responsible for conducting and overseeing elections in the country. The Chief Election Commissioner is a highly important and influential position in ensuring free and fair elections in India.

Options 1, 3, and 4 are inaccurate. Option 1 suggests that she was the Governor of both Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh simultaneously, which is not the case. She served as the Governor of only Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh at different points in her career. Option 3 suggests that she was the only female Indian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, which is also incorrect. Option 4 is completely unrelated, as she never held the position of Governor of the Reserve Bank of India.

Overall, VS Ramadevi`s notable achievement was being the only female Chief Election Commissioner of India.
