{'wildlife': [1, 0, 0, 2], 'wild buffalo': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'animals': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'indian wild ass': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'provisions': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'law': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is option 4 which states: `1, 2 and 3`. The Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 protects a variety of species in India from hunting, including the Gharial, Indian Wild Ass, and Wild Buffalo.

Option 1 indicates that only the Gharial is protected, but this is false as the other animals are also protected under this Act.

Option 2 suggests that only the Indian Wild Ass and Wild Buffalo are protected. However, this neglects the Gharial which is also protected.

Option 3 proposes that the Gharial and Wild Buffalo are protected. However, this dismisses the Indian Wild Ass which is also guarded under this Act.

Therefore, option 4 is the most comprehensive and accurate answer as it includes all three animals mentioned in the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.
