{'power research station': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'jamnagar': [0, 0, 3, 2], 'central water': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'srisailam': [0, 0, 2, 3], 'khadakwasla': [0, 0, 1, 2]}

The Central Water and Power Research Station (CWPRS) is located in Khadakwasla, Pune, Maharashtra, India. Therefore, option 1 is correct.

Going to explain each of the remaining options:

Option 2, Sileru is incorrect. Sileru is a place in Andhra Pradesh, India and it is known for its hydroelectric power stations, but it is not where CWPRS is located.

Option 3, Jamnagar is also incorrect. Jamnagar is a city in the western Indian state of Gujarat known for its bandhani (tie-dye) fabrics, embroidery and silver ware.

Option 4, Srisailam is also not correct. Srisailam is a town in the state of Andhra Pradesh that is home to the holy Malikarjuna Jyotirlinga and also known for the Nagarjuna Sagar Srisailam Sanctuary, but not the location of CWPRS.

In conclusion, CWPRS is in Khadakwasla and hence, Option 1 is the right response.
