{'fertile alluvial soil': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'crops': [6, 1, 6, 7], 'lowlands': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'river deltas': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'maize': [2, 1, 1, 2], 'high summer temperature': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'rice': [0, 0, 0, 4], 'wheat': [4, 1, 2, 2], 'rainfall': [4, 1, 7, 3], 'sugarcane': [2, 2, 2, 7]}

The correct answer is option 4: Rice, jute, and tea.

In the lowlands and river deltas with fertile alluvial soil, where the summer temperature is high and rainfall ranges from 180 cm to 250 cm, certain agricultural crops thrive. Rice, jute, and tea are specifically suited for such conditions.

Rice is a staple crop in many countries and requires standing water for growth. It is well-adapted to high rainfall and can tolerate warm temperatures. The alluvial soil in these areas provides the necessary nutrients for the growth of rice plants.

Jute is a fibrous plant that grows well in areas with high humidity and rainfall. The alluvial soil in the lowlands and river deltas provides suitable conditions for the cultivation of jute.

Tea, specifically Camellia sinensis, also thrives in areas with high rainfall and warm temperatures. The fertile alluvial soil provides the necessary nutrients for tea plantations to grow.

Therefore, option 4 is the correct answer as it identifies the crops, rice, jute, and tea, that can be grown abundantly in the described conditions. No alert is needed for this question as the given answer is correct.
