The Government of Japan chose Vandana Shiva to confer the prestigious Fukuoka Prize for the year 2012. The Fukuoka Prize is an international award given annually by the Government of Fukuoka city in Japan to individuals or organizations for their outstanding contributions to academic, cultural, and artistic fields.

Vandana Shiva is an Indian scholar, environmental activist, and author who is known for her work in promoting sustainable agriculture and biodiversity conservation. She has been a strong advocate for farmers` rights and has fought against the use of genetically modified crops and the corporatization of agriculture.

Amir Khan, Arundhati Roy, and Medha Patkar are not the correct choices for the Fukuoka Prize in 2012. It is important to note that the question specifically asked for the person chosen by the Government of Japan, and the correct answer is Vandana Shiva.

Therefore, option 1, Vandana Shiva, is the correct answer.
