{'kharif crops': [3, 0, 2, 2], 'crops': [6, 1, 6, 7], 'wheat': [4, 1, 2, 2], 'rice': [0, 0, 0, 4], 'cotton': [2, 0, 0, 2], 'groundnut': [1, 0, 0, 0]}

The correct answer is option 3, which includes crops 1, 2, and 3.

Kharif crops are the crops that are sown and harvested during the monsoon season in India, which is generally from June to September. These crops require a sufficient amount of rainfall for their growth.

1. Cotton: Cotton is a kharif crop as it requires a hot and humid climate. It is typically sown in June-July and harvested in September-October.

2. Groundnut: Groundnut is also a kharif crop that is sown after the onset of the monsoon. It requires a warm climate and adequate rainfall for its growth.

3. Rice: Rice is a staple food crop in India and is grown during the kharif season. It requires a lot of water and is commonly cultivated in areas with high rainfall.

4. Wheat: Wheat is a rabi crop, which means it is sown in winter and harvested in spring. It is not a kharif crop.

Therefore, the kharif crops from the given options are cotton, groundnut, and rice.
