{'monoculture crops': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'farmers': [1, 3, 8, 26], 'sugarcane': [2, 2, 2, 7], 'immediate cash': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'assam': [13, 2, 2, 11], 'coffee': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'malaysia': [0, 0, 2, 2], 'africa': [16, 2, 7, 16], 'tea': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is option 4, which states that monoculture crops like tea in Assam and coffee in Brazil provide immediate cash to farmers.

Monoculture crops refer to the practice of cultivating a single crop in a specific area. This approach is often adopted for crops that have high economic value and can generate quick profits for the farmers.

In this case, tea production in Assam and coffee production in Brazil are examples of such monoculture crops. Both tea and coffee are cash crops, meaning that they are grown primarily for sale and generate significant income for the farmers. The tea industry in Assam is well-established, and the region is known for its high-quality tea production. Similarly, Brazil is one of the largest producers of coffee globally.

Option 1, which mentions tea in Assam, is correct as it aligns with the explanation. However, option 4 also includes coffee in Brazil, which is also a correct answer.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4 - "1 and 4".

Alert - The provided answer is correct.
