{'regulating act': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'parliamentary supervision': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'governor general': [4, 0, 0, 0], 'bengal': [2, 0, 1, 2], 'proprietors': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'government': [5, 0, 0, 1], 'east india company': [4, 0, 2, 1]}

The Regulating Act of 1773 was an important legislative act that aimed to bring control and supervision over the East India Company. It introduced several provisions to achieve this goal.

Option 1 states that the Regulating Act introduced Parliamentary supervision over the East India Company, which is correct. This provision aimed to oversee and monitor the activities of the company to prevent corruption and misuse of power.

Option 2 states that the Government of Bengal was vested in a Governor General and the Council of four members. This is also correct. The act established a Governor General of Bengal, who would have the authority to make important decisions and be accountable for the administration of Bengal.

Option 3 states that the act changed the power of vote in the Court of Proprietors by removing all restrictions on qualifications. However, this is not a provision of the Regulating Act of 1773. There were no provisions in the act related to the power of vote in the Court of Proprietors.

Option 4 states that the Governor General was vested with a casting vote. This is correct. The Governor General had the power to cast an additional vote in case of a tie in the council, giving him a greater influence in decision-making.

In conclusion, option 3 is the correct answer
