{'indira gandhi centre': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'thiruvananthapuram': [1, 0, 10, 3], 'atomic research': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'sriharikota': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'kalpakkam': [1, 1, 1, 1], 'places': [6, 7, 13, 10]}

The correct answer is option 3, Kalpakkam. The Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR) is located in Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu.

Let`s look at the other options and understand why they are incorrect:

1. Thiruvananthapuram: Thiruvananthapuram is the capital city of the state of Kerala. It is not the location of the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research.

2. Sriharikota: Sriharikota is the barrier island located in Andhra Pradesh. It is the spaceport of India, where the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launches satellites. The Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research is not located there.

4. Trombay: Trombay is a residential suburb in Mumbai, Maharashtra. It is known for the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), which is a separate nuclear research center in India. It is not the location of the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3, Kalpakkam.
