{'south eastern railway bhubaneshwar': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'eastern railway kolkata': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'north eastern railway gorakhpur': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'south east central railway bilaspur': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'railway zone headquarters': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

The question is about the matching of railway zones in India with their respective headquarter cities.

Option 1: North Eastern Railway and Gorakhpur is a correct match. The North Eastern Railway`s headquarters is indeed in Gorakhpur.

Option 2: South Eastern Railway and Bhubaneshwar is an incorrect match. This is the correct answer to the question as per the question`s statement as the real headquarters of the South Eastern Railway is in Kolkata, not Bhubaneshwar.

Option 3: Eastern Railway and Kolkata is a correct match. The headquarters of the Eastern Railway zone is located in Kolkata.

Option 4: South East Central Railway and Bilaspur is a correct match. Bilaspur houses the headquarters of the South East Central Railway zone.

Therefore, each railway zone has been properly matched to its headquarters, with the exception of the South Eastern Railway, which is not located in Bhubaneshwar but in Kolkata.
