{'rain deficits': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'drought year': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'monsoon season': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'famine year': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'flood year': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'sufficient year': [1, 0, 0, 0]}

The correct answer is option 2, drought year. When 20% or more of the country`s area experiences a deficiency in rainfall during the monsoon season, it is considered a drought year. A drought is a period of unusually dry weather that leads to a shortage of water, affecting agriculture, water supply, and ecosystems. In a drought year, crops may fail, leading to food shortages and economic hardships for agricultural communities. Droughts can also have long-lasting impacts on the environment, including increased risk of wildfires and depletion of water sources. It is important to note that a drought is different from a flood, famine, or self-sufficient year as mentioned in the other options.
