{'sangeet natak akademi ratna award': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'yamini krishnamurthy': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'dance': [1, 1, 7, 3], 'uma sharma': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'chandralekha': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'tanjavur balasaraswati': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'lifetime achievement': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

The Sangeet Natak Akademi Ratna Award, 2005 was given to Yamini Krishnamurthy, which is why option 4 is the correct answer. Yamini Krishnamurthy is a renowned Indian dancer, known for her expertise in Bharatanatyam and Kuchipudi styles of dance. Her prolific career and immense contributions to Indian dance made her a deserving recipient of this esteemed honor.

Looking at the other options, Chandralekha, mentioned in option 1, was a contemporary Indian dancer and choreographer. She definitely made significant contributions to the field but wasn`t the 2005 Ratna award recipient. Option 2, Tanjavur Balasaraswati, was a celebrated Indian dancer known for reviving the traditional Indian dance form of Bharatanatyam, yet she too did not receive the prize in the mentioned year. Option 3, Uma Sharma, is a Kathak dancer, again, not the awarded artist in 2005.
