keywords: 

{'annual rainfall': [1, 0, 0, 2], 'kolkata': [1, 0, 1, 2], 'chennai': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'visakhapatnam': [4, 1, 9, 11], 'shillong': [2, 1, 1, 2], 'highest amount': [1, 0, 3, 4]}

The correct answer is option 3, Shillong. Shillong receives the highest amount of annual rainfall among the options provided.

Chennai, option 1, is located on the eastern coast of India and experiences a tropical wet and dry climate. It receives less rainfall compared to the other options. Kolkata, option 2, is also located on the eastern coast and has a tropical wet and dry climate. While it receives more rainfall than Chennai, it still doesn`t receive as much as Shillong.

Shillong, option 3, is the capital city of Meghalaya, a state in northeastern India. It is known for its high rainfall and has a humid subtropical climate. The city receives heavy rainfall throughout the year, with the peak in the monsoon season. This makes Shillong the correct answer as it receives the highest amount of annual rainfall among the given options.

Visakhapatnam, option 4, is a coastal city in Andhra Pradesh. It receives moderate rainfall due to its proximity to the Bay of Bengal. However, it doesn`t receive as much rainfall as Shillong.

In conclusion, Shillong receives the highest amount of annual rainfall among the given options.
