{'first desalination plant': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'thermal desalination principle commissioner': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'lakh litres freshwater': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'low temperature': [1, 1, 1, 5], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'mangalore': [9, 1, 9, 3], 'kavaratti': [2, 0, 1, 1]}

The first desalination plant in India to produce one lakh litres of freshwater per day, based on the low temperature thermal desalination principle, was commissioned in Kavaratti.

Now, to understand why other options are incorrect:

Option - 2 Port Blair: There may be a desalination plant in Port Blair, but it is not the first one to produce one lakh litres fresh water per day based on low temperature thermal desalination principle, this accomplishment is for Kavaratti.

Option - 3 Mangalore: This city is located in India, however, it is not where the described desalination plant was installed, which is Kavaratti.

Option - 4 Valsad: Valsad is yet another city in India, however, it is not the site of the first desalination plant with the specified capabilities; this credit goes to the plant in Kavaratti.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1 - Kavaratti.
