{'oil refineries': [2, 0, 3, 3], 'kochi': [3, 0, 2, 0], 'mumbai': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'sequences': [0, 0, 5, 7], 'south': [15, 1, 23, 37], 'mangalore': [9, 1, 9, 3], 'north': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

In this option, the sequence starts with Kochi, followed by Mangalore, then Mumbai, and finally Koyali. This sequence goes from south to north, starting from Kochi in the southern part of India and ending at Koyali in the northern region. Therefore, option 1 is correct.

Option 2: Koyali-Mumbai-Mangalore-Kochi

This option starts with Koyali, followed by Mumbai, then Mangalore, and finally Kochi. This sequence goes from north to south, which is the opposite of what the question asks for. Therefore, option 2 is incorrect.

Option 3: Kochi-Mumbai-Mangalore-Koyali
