{'basalt': [3, 0, 0, 0], 'granite': [8, 0, 2, 5], 'dolomite': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'slate': [6, 0, 2, 1], 'example': [18, 0, 1, 11]}

Option 1: Basalt is not an example of Plutonic Igneous Rock. Basalt is actually an example of volcanic igneous rock, which means it is formed from lava that cools quickly on the earth`s surface. Plutonic igneous rocks are formed when magma cools slowly beneath the earth`s surface.

Option 2: Granite is indeed an example of Plutonic Igneous Rock. Granite is formed from the slow cooling of magma deep within the Earth`s crust. It is characterized by its coarse texture and large mineral crystals.

Option 3: Slate is not an example of Plutonic Igneous Rock. Slate is actually a metamorphic rock that is formed from the metamorphosis of shale or mudstone.

Option 4: Dolomite is not an example of Plutonic Igneous Rock. Dolomite is actually a sedimentary rock that is formed from the accumulation of marine organism or chemical precipitation.

In conclusion, the correct answer is Option 2: Granite.
