{'kandla port': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'paradeep port': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'mahanadi delta': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'gulf': [1, 0, 2, 1], 'khambhat': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is Option 2 - 2 only.

Statement 1 is incorrect because Kandla Port is actually situated on the Gulf of Kutch, not the Gulf of Khambhat. The Gulf of Kutch is a small body of water located in the western part of India, while the Gulf of Khambhat is located to the north of the Gulf of Kutch.

Statement 2 is correct as Paradeep Port is indeed situated in the Mahanadi Delta. The Mahanadi Delta is formed by the Mahanadi River as it enters the Bay of Bengal in the eastern part of India.

Therefore, only Statement 2 is correct and Statement 1 is incorrect.
