{'vegetation': [1, 0, 2, 1], 'scrub forest type': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'tropical moist deciduous flora': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'bundelkhand plateau': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'shivaliks': [2, 0, 2, 1]}

The statement given in option 1 is incorrect. The Shivalik hills do not have tropical moist deciduous flora. Instead, they have sub-tropical broadleaf forests. These forests mainly consist of trees like sal, chir, and khair. The tropical moist deciduous flora is found in regions that receive heavy rainfall throughout the year.

However, the statement given in option 2 is correct. The Bundelkhand plateau does have a thorn and scrub forest type of vegetation. The region experiences a semi-arid climate, which is suitable for the growth of thorny and scrubby vegetation. These forests are primarily made up of acacia, eucalyptus, and other drought-resistant plants.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option 2 - "2 only".
