{'olympic football tournament': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'indian football team': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'semi finals': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'olympic games': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'first round': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'quarter finals': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'performance': [0, 0, 4, 2]}
The correct answer is option 2, which states that India only played in the First Round of the Olympic Football Tournament.
Option 1 is incorrect because India has actually participated in the Olympic Football Tournament, specifically in the 1948 edition in London.
Option 3 suggests that India only reached the Quarter Finals. This is not true, as India`s best performance, in the 1948 London Olympics, was reaching the preliminary round or the first round.
Option 4, which posits that India reached the Semi Finals, is also not true as India`s progress in the tournament has never exceeded the preliminary or first round.
So, the correct answer is that India`s football team played only in the First Round of the Olympic Games.
