{'spices': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'coriander': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'turmeric': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'flower buds': [0, 0, 3, 0], 'clove': [1, 1, 0, 0], 'cardamom': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

The correct answer is option 1 - Clove. Clove is a spice that is obtained from the flower buds of the clove tree. It is widely used in cooking and has a strong, aromatic flavor.

Option 2 - Coriander is not obtained from flower buds, but from the dried seeds of the coriander plant. Coriander is commonly used in culinary applications for its unique citrusy flavor.

Option 3 - Cardamom does come from the flower buds, but it is not the spice obtained primarily from flower buds. Cardamom is the seed pods of various plants in the ginger family and is highly prized for its aromatic and spicy flavor.

Option 4 - Turmeric is not obtained from flower buds either. It is a spice that comes from the root of the turmeric plant. Turmeric is known for its bright yellow color and is widely used in curries and other dishes for both its flavor and its health benefits.

In summary, the only spice among the options that is obtained from flower buds is clove.
