{'economic target': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'year plan': [0, 0, 1, 8], 'urban waste water': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'energy efficiency': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'head environment': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'attain who standards': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'monitorable socio': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'air quality': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'major cities': [0, 0, 3, 1], 'clear river waters': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

Option 4, which states "Increase forest and tree cover by 15 percentage points," is not a correct statement regarding the Monitorable Socio-Economic Target of the 11th Five Year Plan under the head Environment. It is important to note that the correct option should have been "Reduce forest and tree cover by 15 percentage points."

The 11th Five Year Plan aimed to address various environmental issues, and increasing forest and tree cover was not one of them. Instead, the plan focused on improving the quality of urban waste water by treating it to clear river waters (option 1), increasing energy efficiency by 20 percentage points (option 2), and attaining the World Health Organization`s standards for air quality in major cities (option 3).

By treating urban waste water, the plan aimed to reduce pollution and improve the health of rivers. Increasing energy efficiency was an important goal to reduce the carbon footprint and promote sustainable development. Attaining WHO standards for air quality aimed to protect the health of the population and improve the overall environmental quality in major cities.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4, as increasing forest and tree cover was not a goal of the 11th Five Year Plan.
