{'drainage system': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'plateau': [3, 0, 1, 0], 'chota nagpur': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'malwa': [4, 0, 2, 4], 'ranchi': [3, 0, 2, 0], 'hazaribagh': [2, 0, 0, 0], 'west': [11, 4, 16, 22], 'east': [0, 0, 2, 1]}

The correct answer is option 1, Malwa. A plateau is a flat and elevated landform that is characterized by highlands and steep sides. The Malwa plateau, located in central India, is surrounded by the Aravalli Range to the west and the Vindhya Range to the east. It is drained by both west and east flowing rivers. The west flowing rivers in Malwa include the Chambal, Mahi, and Sabarmati, while the east flowing rivers include the Betwa, Tapti, and Narmada. The Chota Nagpur plateau, on the other hand, is predominantly drained by east flowing rivers, such as the Subarnarekha, Damodar, and Brahmani. Therefore, option 1, Malwa, is the correct answer.
