{'bangladesh': [4, 0, 4, 2], 'west bengal': [1, 0, 0, 3], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'meghalaya': [22, 1, 17, 41], 'states': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'sides': [3, 0, 3, 3], 'tripura': [12, 1, 7, 9]}

The correct answer is option 3, Tripura.

Option 1, Mizoram is a state in northeastern India that shares borders with Bangladesh and Myanmar, but it is not surrounded by Bangladesh on three sides.

Option 2, Meghalaya is also a state in northeastern India that shares borders with Bangladesh, but it is not surrounded by Bangladesh on three sides.

Option 4, West Bengal is a state in eastern India that shares a border with Bangladesh, but it is not surrounded by Bangladesh on three sides either.

On the other hand, Tripura, which is located in northeastern India, is indeed surrounded by Bangladesh on three sides. It shares its borders with Bangladesh in the north, south, and west. This geography gives Tripura a unique position among the Indian states, as it is surrounded by a foreign country on almost all sides.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3, Tripura.
