{'manufacturing zone': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'andhra pradesh': [5, 0, 4, 6], 'uttar pradesh': [5, 1, 0, 7], 'maharashtra': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'first national investment': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'indias': [0, 0, 2, 5], 'gujarat': [2, 0, 1, 1]}

The first National Investment and Manufacturing Zone (NIMZ) in India was proposed to be set up in Andhra Pradesh. This zone aims to drive socio-economic development by providing global and domestic competitiveness, augmenting exports, and kick-starting domestic value addition.

For Option 1: Andhra Pradesh was indeed where the first NIMZ was planned.

Option 2: Gujarat, is incorrect. While Gujarat is a significant industrial state in India, the first NIMZ was not proposed to be set up there.

Option 3: Maharashtra, a state famous for its established manufacturing sector and bustling economic activity, is also not the location where the first NIMZ was proposed.

Option 4: Uttar Pradesh is another state that is significant in terms of economic activities. However, the first National Investment and Manufacturing Zone was not proposed to be established here.

Hence, the correct answer is Andhra Pradesh (Option 1).
