{'metallic minerals': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'minerals': [1, 0, 2, 6], 'fuel minerals': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'rupees': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'sequence': [0, 1, 0, 2], 'terms': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'value': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'year': [27, 4, 33, 49], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13]}

The question asks about the decreasing sequence (from highest to lowest) of the value of different types of minerals produced in India in the year 2002-03.

Option 1 suggests the order is Metallic minerals, Fuel minerals, and then Non-metallic minerals. It implies that the value of metallic minerals produced is the highest followed by fuel minerals and non-metallic minerals.

Option 2, which is the correct answer, indicates Fuel minerals, Metallic minerals, and Non-metallic minerals. This means the highest value earned was from Fuel minerals followed by Metallic minerals and the least from Non-metallic minerals in 2002-03.

Option 3 infers the order as Metallic minerals, Non-metallic minerals, and Fuel minerals. This would mean Metallic minerals produced the most value followed by non-metallic and fuel minerals.

Option 4 states the order as Fuel minerals, Non-metallic minerals, and Metallic minerals, suggesting that Fuel minerals were most valuable, followed by non-metallic minerals, and the least value from metallic minerals.

Remember, each option presents a different order and the correct one is based on the actual production data of that year.
