{'campus poll': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'hostel accommodation': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'students': [0, 1, 1, 1], 'undergraduate students': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'poll outcome': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'oppose': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'support': [2, 0, 1, 6], 'regard': [0, 0, 1, 8], 'attitude': [0, 0, 0, 2]}

In this question, a survey was conducted among 300 undergraduate students regarding their attitude towards a proposed change in hostel accommodation rules. The students were asked to choose between `support`, `neutral`, or `oppose`.

The correct answer is option 2, which states that the numbers for `support`, `neutral`, and `oppose` are 120, 100, and 80 respectively.

This means that out of the 300 students surveyed, 120 students supported the proposed change in hostel accommodation rules, 100 students remained neutral or had no strong opinion either way, and 80 students opposed the proposed change.

It is important to note that the percentages of each category can be calculated by dividing the respective numbers by the total number of students (300) and multiplying by 100. In this case, the percentages would be approximately 40% for `support`, 33.33% for `neutral`, and 26.67% for `oppose`.

This information was presented in the form of a pie chart, which provides a visual representation of how the attitudes of the students were distributed. The pie chart helps to understand the proportion of students in each category and their relative sizes in relation to each other.
