{'jammu': [4, 2, 0, 3], 'kashmir': [3, 1, 2, 2], 'madhya pradesh': [16, 0, 16, 28], 'west bengal': [1, 0, 0, 3], 'kerala': [7, 2, 0, 3], 'teak': [2, 1, 2, 1], 'sundari': [0, 1, 0, 0]}

Each option in this question is a pair: a type of tree (like "Teak," "Deodar," "Sandalwood," or "Sundari") and an Indian state (like "Jammu and Kashmir," "Madhya Pradesh," "Kerala," or "West Bengal"). To answer this question correctly, we need to identify which tree is native to which state.

Option 1: Teak is native to various parts of India, but not to Jammu and Kashmir. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option 2: Deodar is native to the western Himalayas in eastern Afghanistan, northern Pakistan, and parts of northern India, particularly in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, but not Madhya Pradesh. Therefore, this option is incorrect.

Option 3: Sandalwood trees are mainly found in the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Although Sandalwood trees do exist in Kerala, it`s not a defining species of the region. Hence, as a representative pair, this option might be considered incorrect.

Option 4: Sundari trees, which give the name to the Sundarbans ("beautiful forest" in Bengali), the world`s largest coastal mangrove forest shared between India and Bangladesh, are native to West
