{'ayush group': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'health care systems': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'reiki': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'siddha': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'unani': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'rigpa': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'latest addition': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'sowa': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is option 3: Sowa-Rigpa. The AYUSH group of health care systems in India consists of various traditional and alternative medicine practices. Sowa-Rigpa is a system of medicine that originated in Tibet and is commonly practiced in the Himalayan regions of India.

To understand why the other options are not the correct answer, let`s look at each of them:

Option 1: Unani is a traditional medicine system that originated in ancient Greece and was later adopted and developed by the Arabs. It has been a part of the AYUSH group of health care systems for quite some time and is not the latest addition.

Option 2: Siddha is an ancient traditional medicine system originated in Tamil Nadu, India. Siddha medicine has been included in the AYUSH group for a significant period, so it is not the latest addition.

Option 4: Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique. It is not a part of the AYUSH group of health care systems in India, so it is not the correct answer.

Therefore, based on the options provided, the correct answer is option 3: Sowa-Rigpa.
