{'rekhti': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'urdu': [1, 1, 0, 0], 'brij bhasha': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'hindi': [7, 7, 4, 13], 'languages': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'prakrit': [4, 2, 1, 2]}

The correct answer is option 3: Urdu.

Rekhti was a form of poetry that emerged in the 18th century in the Mughal courts of India. It was primarily written by women and focused on themes related to love and romance. Rekhti was heavily influenced by Persian poetry and was primarily written in a hybrid language that combined elements of Persian and the local languages spoken in North India.

This hybrid language eventually evolved into what is now known as Urdu. Urdu is a standardized register of the Hindustani language, which is spoken by millions of people in India and Pakistan. It has borrowed vocabulary from Persian, Arabic, Turkish, and English, and is written in a modified version of the Persian script.

While Prakrit, Brij Bhasha, and Hindi are all languages that have been spoken in India, they are not specifically known as rekhti. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3: Urdu.
