{'krishna': [0, 0, 0, 3], 'rivers': [3, 2, 8, 8], 'kolkata': [1, 0, 1, 2], 'chennai': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'shortest distance': [0, 1, 0, 1], 'godavari': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'mahanadi': [18, 2, 10, 16], 'road': [1, 2, 5, 6], 'occurrences': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'periyar': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'subamarekha': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'kaveri': [7, 0, 5, 6]}

Option 1, "Krishna, Kaveri, Godavari, Mahanadi, Subamarekha", is not the correct sequence of rivers when traveling from Chennai to Kolkata by road. This option starts with the Krishna river, which is located in the southern part of India, near Chennai. However, it is followed by the Kaveri river, which is also located in the southern part of India and does not flow towards Kolkata. The Godavari river, Mahanadi river, and Subamarekha river mentioned in this option are all located in eastern India, but their sequence is incorrect.

Option 2, "Krishna, Periyar, Godavari, Mahanadi, Subamarekha", is also not the correct sequence of rivers. While the Krishna river is again the correct starting point, the Periyar river is not on the route from Chennai to Kolkata. Additionally, the remaining rivers mentioned in this option, Godavari, Mahanadi, and Subamarekha, are in the correct direction but in the incorrect sequence.

Option 4, "Penneru, Mahanadi, Subamarekha, Godavari, Krishna", is not the correct sequence
