0,7,17,7,7,2,8

keywords: 

{'simbex': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'bilateral naval exercise': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'indian navy': [0, 0, 2, 4], 'sri lankan navy': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'andaman sea': [1, 0, 0, 0], '21st': [0, 0, 1, 1]}

Option 1 states that SIMBEX 14 was a bilateral naval exercise between the Indian navy and Sri Lankan navy. This statement is incorrect as SIMBEX 14 was not conducted between the Indian and Sri Lankan navies.

Option 2 states that SIMBEX 14 was the 21st in the series. This statement is correct. SIMBEX stands for Singapore-India Maritime Bilateral Exercise, and it is an annual exercise conducted between the Indian Navy and the Republic of Singapore Navy.

Option 3 states that SIMBEX 14 was conducted in the Andaman Sea. This statement is not mentioned in the question, so we cannot determine its accuracy.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2, which states that statement 2 (SIMBEX 14 was the 21st in the series) is correct.
