{'mahatma gandhi': [20, 5, 4, 18], 'anasakti yoga': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'civilization': [0, 0, 0, 5], 'modern machine': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'critique': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'constructive programme': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'hind swaraj': [0, 0, 1, 9], 'gita': [0, 0, 1, 1]}

The correct answer is option 2: Hind Swaraj. Hind Swaraj is a work by Mahatma Gandhi that provides a critique of modern machine-oriented civilization.

Option 1, "The Story of My Experiments with Truth," is Gandhi`s autobiography. It focuses on his personal journey and the principles of truth and nonviolence. While it may touch upon aspects of civilization, it does not specifically critique modern machine-oriented civilization.

Option 3, "Constructive Programme," is a collection of Gandhi`s ideas and plans for social, political, and economic reconstruction. While it may address the issue of modernization and its impact on society, it does not provide a specific critique of machine-oriented civilization.

Option 4, "Anasakti Yoga (Commentary on `Gita`)," is Gandhi`s commentary on the Bhagavad Gita and explores concepts of selfless action and detachment. While it may provide insights into spirituality and ethics, it does not directly critique modern machine-oriented civilization.

Therefore, the most appropriate answer is option 2, Hind Swaraj, as it specifically critiques modern machine-oriented civilization.
