{'yoga': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'patanjali': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'vrudukanta': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'vagbhata': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'atreya': [2, 0, 0, 0], 'pioneer': [1, 0, 0, 2]}

The correct answer is option 1, Patanjali. Patanjali is considered the pioneer of Yoga as he is the author of the Yoga Sutras, which is a collection of aphorisms that form the foundation of modern yoga practice. The Yoga Sutras outline the eight limbs of yoga, which include principles and practices for physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Patanjali`s work is highly regarded and has been studied and followed by yoga practitioners for centuries.

Option 2, Vagbhata, is incorrect. Vagbhata was an ancient Indian physician and author, known for his contributions to Ayurveda, a traditional system of medicine.

Option 3, Atreya, is also incorrect. Atreya is a legendary figure in the history of Ayurveda, but he is not associated with the development of yoga.

Option 4, Vrudukanta, is not a known figure in the context of yoga.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1, Patanjali.
