{'eastern ghats': [3, 0, 1, 3], 'western ghats': [1, 0, 2, 0], 'mahendragiri hills': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'nilgiri hills': [1, 0, 3, 1], 'palani hills': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'shevaroy hills': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'hills': [6, 0, 3, 8]}

The correct answer is option 3, Nilgiri Hills. The Eastern Ghats and Western Ghats are two mountain ranges that run parallel to each other in India. The Eastern Ghats extend along the east coast of India while the Western Ghats run parallel to the west coast. The point at which these two mountain ranges join is known as the Palghat Gap. The Palani Hills (option 1), Mahendragiri Hills (option 2), and Shevaroy Hills (option 4) are all part of the Eastern Ghats, but they do not join the Western Ghats. Therefore, the correct answer is Nilgiri Hills (option 3), as it is the point where the Eastern Ghats and Western Ghats converge.
