{'timurid dynasty': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'indian subcontinent': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'subcontinent': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'babur': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'architecture': [2, 0, 2, 12], 'arrival': [0, 2, 1, 1], 'establishment': [2, 0, 5, 7], 'region': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'gunpowder': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is option 4, which states that statement 3 only is correct.

Let`s analyze each statement to understand why:

1. The arrival of Babur into the Indian subcontinent did not directly lead to the introduction of gunpowder in the region. The use of gunpowder had already been introduced in India by other rulers prior to Babur`s arrival. Therefore, statement 1 is incorrect.

2. The introduction of the arch and dome in the region`s architecture was not directly influenced by Babur`s arrival. The use of arch and dome in Indian architecture predates Babur`s arrival and can be traced back to ancient times. So, statement 2 is incorrect.

3. The arrival of Babur did indeed lead to the establishment of a Timurid dynasty in the region. Babur, who belonged to the Timurid dynasty, established the Mughal Empire in India, which lasted for several centuries. Therefore, statement 3 is correct.

In conclusion, only statement 3 is correct, and the correct answer is option 4.
