{'scientific research': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'centenary year': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'icmr': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'icar': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'year': [27, 4, 33, 49], 'policy': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'government': [5, 0, 0, 1], 'isro': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer to this question is option 3: ICMR. In 2011, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) celebrated its centenary year as a policy-making body for scientific research and development in India.

Let`s analyze the other options to understand why they are incorrect:

Option 1: ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) is responsible for India`s space exploration and satellite technology. While it is involved in scientific research and development, it is not a policy-making body.

Option 2: ICAR (Indian Council of Agricultural Research) is responsible for coordinating and promoting agricultural research in India. Although it is involved in scientific research and development, it is not a policy-making body.

Option 4: CSIR (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research) is responsible for scientific and industrial research in India. While it is involved in policy-making for scientific research and development, it did not celebrate its centenary year in 2011.

Therefore, the answer remains option 3: ICMR, as it is the only policy-making body that celebrated its centenary year in 2011.
