{'container ship': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'oil spill': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'arabian sea': [2, 0, 3, 3], 'sea': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'ship': [3, 2, 2, 5], 'consequence': [1, 0, 1, 3], 'great damage': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'entire oil': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

Option 1 states that the container ship was not damaged as a consequence of the collision. This option suggests that the ship remained intact and unaffected.

Option 2 states that the container ship sank and resulted in the entire oil of the ship spilling into the sea, causing great damage to aquatic life. This option indicates a severe outcome where the ship sinks and releases all its oil, leading to environmental damage.

Option 3 states that the container ship was tilted, some boxes fell into the sea, a moderate scale of oil spill occurred, and subsequently, the ship was made upright. This option suggests that the ship experienced some damage, resulting in a tilt, the loss of some cargo, and a moderate oil spill. However, the ship was eventually brought back to an upright position.

Option 4 states that the container ship was merely tilted and subsequently made upright, implying that there was no significant damage or consequences beyond the ship`s temporary tilt.

Based on the given information, option 3 is the most accurate. It describes the consequences of the collision as a tilt, the loss of some cargo, a moderate oil spill, and the subsequent restoration of the ship to an upright position.
