{'satpura range': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'mahadeo hills': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'sahyadri parvat': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'south': [15, 1, 23, 37], 'north': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

The question asks to arrange Mahadeo Hills, Sahyadri Parvat, and the Satpura Range from north to south.

Option 1 suggests the sequence Mahadeo Hills, Sahyadri Parvat, and then Satpura Range. This is incorrect; Sahyadri Parvat (also known as Western Ghats) is actually the most southern point.

Option 2 suggests Sahyadri Parvat, Mahadeo Hills, and then Satpura Range. This is also incorrect for the same reason; Sahyadri Parvat is not the northernmost point.

Option 3, the correct answer, suggests Mahadeo Hills, Satpura Range, and then Sahyadri Parvat. This is geographically correct; Mahadeo Hills are in the northern part of central India, the Satpura Range is in central India, and Sahyadri Parvat is in the southern part of India.

Option 4 suggests Sahyadri Parvat, Satpura Range, and then Mahadeo Hills. This is incorrect as Sahyadri Parvat is the southernmost point, not the northernmost.
