{'goldman environmental prize': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'winners': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'jadav payeng': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'sunderlal dahuguna': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'anadish pal': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'year': [27, 4, 33, 49]}

The correct answer is option 3, Prafulla Samantra. To better understand why this is the correct answer, let`s dissect each option.

Option 1, Jadav Payeng, is a prominent environmentalist from India, known as the "Forest Man" for single-handedly planting and nurturing a forest on Majuli Island in Assam, India. Though he is a renowned environmentalist, he is not one of the winners of the Goldman Environmental Prize in 2017.

Option 2, Anadish Pal, is not a well-known environmentalist. There is no information available to suggest that he won the Goldman Environmental Prize in 2017.

Option 4, Sunderlal Dahuguna, was an Indian environmental activist known for his efforts in the Chipko movement, which aimed to protect forests in India from deforestation. However, he passed away in 2012, so it is impossible for him to win the Goldman Environmental Prize in 2017.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3, Prafulla Samantra. Prafulla Samantra is an Indian environmental activist who has been recognized for his efforts in opposing the bauxite mining projects in Odisha. He won the Goldman Environmental Prize in 2017
