{'indian landlord interests': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'british indian association': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'bombay association': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'first major voluntary association': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'madras native association': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'calcutta': [3, 0, 1, 4], 'landholder': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is option 1, British Indian Association. The British Indian Association was the first major voluntary association that primarily represented the interests of Indian landlords. It was established in Calcutta in 1851.

Option 2, Landholder`s Society, is incorrect. While this option seems similar to the correct answer, there is no historical evidence or reference to a Landholder`s Society being the first major voluntary association representing Indian landlord interests.

Option 3, Madras Native Association, is also incorrect. The Madras Native Association was formed in 1852 and was primarily focused on advocating for political and social reforms for Indians. It did not specifically represent landlord interests.

Option 4, Bombay Association, is also incorrect. The Bombay Association, founded in 1852, aimed to address various issues faced by Indians under British rule, but was not primarily focused on landlord interests.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1, British Indian Association.
