The Dada Saheb Phalke Award is India`s highest award in cinema, presented by the Directorate of Film Festivals, an organisation set up by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, India.

Option 1: Dev Anand was a popular actor and film producer, but he received this prestigious award in 2002 not 2001.

Option 2: Lata Mangeshkar, a respected Indian playback singer, was honored with the Dada Saheb Phalke Award in 1989.

Option 3: Ramanand Sagar, a film director known for making the TV show "Ramayan", never received the Dada Saheb Phalke Award.

Option 4: Yash Chopra, a legendary filmmaker and producer in the Bollywood industry, was indeed the recipient of the 2001 Dada Saheb Phalke Award.

Thus, the correct answer is 4 - Yash Chopra.
