{'tropical rain forests': [0, 0, 2, 1], 'central india': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'regions': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'south': [15, 1, 23, 37], 'east': [0, 0, 2, 1], 'west': [11, 4, 16, 22], 'north': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

The correct answer is option 4 - South-west and North-east.

Tropical rainforests are found in regions that receive abundant rainfall and have a warm and humid climate. In India, the South-west region, particularly the Western Ghats, is known for its tropical rainforests. The Western Ghats stretch along the western coast of India and receive heavy rainfall due to the southwest monsoon. These forests are rich in biodiversity and house various species of flora and fauna.

The North-east region of India is also home to tropical rainforests. This region, known as the Seven Sister States, receives heavy rainfall throughout the year due to its proximity to the Bay of Bengal and the presence of the Himalayan foothills. The forests in this region are characterized by dense vegetation and are known for their diverse range of species.

It is important to note that while the South-west and North-east regions of India are famous for their tropical rainforests, other regions like Central India and North-west India do not have significant rainforest coverage.
