{'indian peninsular plateau': [1, 0, 0, 2], 'deccan lava plateau': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'southern plateau block': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'plateau': [3, 0, 1, 0], 'malwa plateau': [2, 0, 3, 3], 'satpura': [0, 1, 0, 2], 'eastern flank': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'vindhyan scraps': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'lava sheets': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'trough': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'vindhyan': [0, 0, 1, 1]}

The correct answer is option 2, which states that statements 1, 2, and 4 are correct. Let`s dissect each option to better understand the answer.

Option 1 states that statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct. However, this is not the correct option because statement 3 is incorrect. The Malwa plateau does not dominate the Vindhyan scraps, but rather it is located in the northwest region of the Indian Peninsular Plateau.

Option 2 states that statements 1, 2, and 4 are correct. This is the correct option because all three statements are indeed correct. Statement 1 is true as the Southern plateau block is mainly composed of granite and gneiss. Statement 2 is also accurate as the Deccan lava plateau is an elevated tableland consisting of horizontally arranged lava sheets. And finally, statement 4 is correct because the trough of the Narmada and Tapti rivers is indeed located between the Vindhyan and the Satpura ranges.

Option 3 states that only statements 1 and 2 are correct. However, this is not the correct option because statement 4 is also true.

Option 4 states that statement 4 is the only correct statement.
