{'dormant volcano': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'mount kilimanjaro': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'mount stromboli': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'mount mayon': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'mount etna': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is option 1, Mount Kilimanjaro.

A dormant volcano is one that is currently inactive but has the potential to erupt in the future. Option 1, Mount Kilimanjaro, fits this description. Although it is currently dormant, meaning it hasn`t erupted for a considerable amount of time, it is still considered an active volcano.

Option 2, Mount Stromboli, is an incorrect answer. Mount Stromboli is an active volcano, meaning it is currently erupting or has erupted recently.

Option 3, Mount Etna, is also an incorrect answer. Mount Etna is an active volcano in Sicily, Italy, known for its frequent eruptions.

Option 4, Mount Mayon, is also an incorrect answer. Mount Mayon is an active volcano in the Philippines that is known for its symmetrical cone shape and frequent eruptions.

Therefore, the correct answer is Mount Kilimanjaro, option 1. It is a dormant volcano with the potential to erupt in the future.
