keywords: 

{'export': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'paradeep port': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'iron ore': [4, 0, 2, 5], 'major item': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'rice': [0, 0, 0, 4], 'fish': [1, 2, 0, 0], 'tea': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is option 4: Iron ore. Paradeep Port, located in the state of Odisha in India, is known for its significant export of iron ore. Iron ore is a key raw material in the production of steel, making it an important commodity in the global market.

Option 1: Rice is a major agricultural export from India, but it is not the major item of export from Paradeep Port. Rice is mainly exported from other ports in India, such as Kakinada and Chennai.

Option 2: Tea is also a significant export commodity from India, particularly from regions like Assam and Darjeeling. However, Paradeep Port is not known for its tea exports.

Option 3: Fish is an important seafood export from India, but it is not the major item of export from Paradeep Port. Fish exports are mainly handled by other ports, such as Chennai and Kolkata.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4: Iron ore.
