keywords: 

{'maldives': [1, 0, 1, 1], 'parliamentary elections': [0, 2, 1, 2], 'fiji': [1, 0, 3, 1], 'island nations': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'sri lanka': [1, 1, 0, 2], 'singapore': [7, 3, 19, 27], 'august': [3, 0, 0, 8]}

The correct answer is option 3: Sri Lanka. In the month of August 2015, Sri Lanka went for parliamentary elections.

Option 1: Maldives. This option is incorrect as the parliamentary elections in Maldives were held in April 2019, not in August 2015.

Option 2: Fiji. This option is incorrect as Fiji, being a parliamentary republic, does not have parliamentary elections. Instead, it has general elections to elect members of the parliament and the Prime Minister. The latest general elections in Fiji were held in November 2018.

Option 4: Singapore. This option is incorrect as Singapore is not an island nation that went for parliamentary elections in August 2015. Singapore has a parliamentary system, but the last general elections in Singapore were held in July 2020.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3: Sri Lanka.
