{'highest peak': [6, 0, 1, 1], 'nanga parbat': [1, 0, 4, 0], 'nanda devi': [0, 0, 4, 1], 'kun lun': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'kamet': [2, 0, 1, 0]}

Among the given options, the correct answer is option 3, Nanga Parbat.

Option 1, Kamet, is a mountain peak located in the Garhwal region of the Indian state of Uttarakhand. While Kamet is indeed a significant peak, it is not the highest one among the options provided.

Option 2, Kun Lun, refers to a mountain range rather than a specific peak. The Kunlun Mountains stretch across China, Tibet, and Mongolia, and include several tall peaks. However, since the question asks for the highest peak, Kun Lun is not the correct answer.

Option 4, Nanda Devi, is a mountain located in the northern part of India, in the state of Uttarakhand. Nanda Devi is the second-highest mountain in India, but it is not the highest peak among the given options.

Therefore, the highest peak among the provided options is Nanga Parbat, which is also known as "The Naked Mountain." Nanga Parbat is the ninth highest mountain in the world and is situated in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan.
