{'union territories': [1, 0, 1, 1], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'nicobar islands': [3, 1, 3, 2], 'chandigarh': [5, 0, 1, 0], 'andaman': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'area': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'lakshadweep': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'pondicherry': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'order': [6, 12, 34, 35]}

Option 1: Pondicherry - Lakshadweep - Chandigarh - Andaman and Nicobar Islands

Option 2: Lakshadweep - Chandigarh - Andaman and Nicobar Islands - Pondicherry

Option 3: Lakshadweep - Chandigarh - Pondicherry - Andaman and Nicobar Islands

Option 4: Andaman and Nicobar Islands- Lakshadweep - Chandigarh - Pondicherry

The correct answer is option 3: Lakshadweep - Chandigarh - Pondicherry - Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

In this sequence, the Union Territories are arranged in increasing order of their area. Lakshadweep is the smallest Union Territory in terms of area, followed by Chandigarh, Pondicherry, and the largest of them all is Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

It is important to note that Union Territories represent administrative divisions controlled directly by the Central Government of India, unlike states which have their own elected governments. Understanding the order of Union Territories based on their area can provide valuable insights into their geographic size and distribution within the country.

Option 1, Option 2, and Option 4 do not represent the correct sequence of Union Territories in increasing order
