0,35,124,32,35,13,79

keywords: 

{'indian states': [5, 1, 5, 8], 'airports': [0, 1, 1, 0], 'andhra pradesh': [5, 0, 4, 6], 'gujarat': [2, 0, 1, 1], 'highest number': [3, 1, 5, 6], 'longest coastline': [2, 0, 0, 1]}

The question is about Indian States, their coastlines, and numbers of airports.

Option 1 says that Andhra Pradesh has the longest coastline. This statement is incorrect as Gujarat has the longest coastline in India.

Option 2 says that Gujarat has the highest number of airports. This is indeed correct. Gujarat, with its advanced infrastructure and business-friendly measures, has a high number of airports facilitating frequent domestic and international flights.

Option 3 implies that both statements are correct. But as explained, Statement 1 is incorrect, making this option incorrect as well.

Option 4 suggests neither of the two statements is correct. However, Statement 2 is correct, so this option is also incorrect.

So, the correct answer is Option 2 since it correctly states that Gujarat has the highest number of airports.
