{'sugarcane': [2, 2, 2, 7], 'maharashtra': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'andhra pradesh': [5, 0, 4, 6], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'states': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'tamil nadu': [3, 0, 1, 1]}

The question is asking to rank the Indian states based on their sugarcane production in decreasing order.

Option-1: Starts with Maharashtra but Uttar Pradesh (U.P.) is actually the top sugarcane producing state in India.

Option-2: Correctly ranks the states as U.P., Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh. This is based on their production levels with U.P. being the highest.

Option-3: Incorrectly ranks Maharashtra before U.P. and Andhra Pradesh before Tamil Nadu. Based on production levels, this order is incorrect.

Option-4: Correctly ranks U.P. before Maharashtra but incorrectly ranks Andhra Pradesh before Tamil Nadu.

So, Option 2, which ranks the states correctly based on their sugarcane production from highest to lowest, is the correct answer. This order reflects the significant role of U.P. and Maharashtra in sugarcane production as compared to Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.
