{'basmati rice': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'sindhu': [1, 1, 1, 0], 'mallika': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'variety': [3, 0, 3, 2], 'rathna': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'kasturi': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

The correct answer to the question is option 4: Kasturi.

In the context of Basmati rice, a semi-dwarf high-yielding variety refers to a type of rice that has shorter plant height but produces a significant quantity of grains or yield. India, being a major producer and exporter of Basmati rice, has developed different varieties to suit specific requirements and preferences.

Option 1: Sindhu is not the answer because Sindhu is a variety of non-Basmati rice and not a semi-dwarf high-yielding variety.

Option 2: Rathna is also not the correct answer because Rathna is a short-duration variety of non-Basmati rice and not a semi-dwarf high-yielding Basmati variety.

Option 3: Mallika is again not the correct answer because Mallika is a variety of mango and not a variety of Basmati rice.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4: Kasturi. Kasturi is a semi-dwarf high-yielding variety of Basmati rice that has been developed by India and is known for its excellent aroma and flavor.
