{'operational indian satellites': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'communication satellite': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'navigation satellite': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'earth observation satellite': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'jupiter orbiter satellite': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is option 4 - Jupiter orbiter satellite.

Option 1 - Communication satellite: A communication satellite is a type of satellite that is used to provide telecommunications services such as satellite television, internet connectivity, and phone services. In India, there are several operational communication satellites like GSAT-19, GSAT-20, and INSAT-4CR.

Option 2 - Navigation satellite: A navigation satellite is a satellite that is used for navigation purposes, providing positioning, navigation, and timing information. In India, the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) consists of a constellation of satellites that provide navigation services. The IRNSS satellites have been named NavIC and are used for various applications like vehicle tracking, maritime navigation, and disaster management.

Option 3 - Earth observation satellite: An Earth observation satellite is a satellite designed to observe Earth from space, collecting data about the Earth`s atmosphere, land, and oceans. India has various operational Earth observation satellites like CARTOSAT-2 series, Oceansat-2, and Resourcesat-2A.

Option 4 - Jupiter orbiter satellite: There is currently no operational Indian satellite that is specifically designed as a Jupiter orbiter satellite. Therefore, option 4 is the correct answer.
