{'preventive detention act': [2, 0, 0, 0], 'smuggling activities act': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'terrorism act': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'fera': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'pota': [2, 0, 0, 0], 'prevention': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'foreign exchange regulation act': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'act': [7, 1, 13, 45], 'disruptive activities': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'cofeposa': [2, 0, 0, 0], 'tada': [2, 0, 0, 0]}

Option 4, Foreign Exchange Regulation Act (FERA), is not a preventive detention act. Preventive detention refers to the act of detaining a person without trial in order to prevent them from committing a future offense.

Option 1, Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA), is a preventive detention act enacted in India in 1985 to combat terrorism and disruptive activities.

Option 2, Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA), is also a preventive detention act enacted in India in 2002 to combat terrorism.

Option 3, Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act (COFEPOSA), is a preventive detention act in India aimed at preventing the smuggling of goods and conservation of foreign exchange.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4, as FERA is not a preventive detention act. Alert - correct answer should be option 4, Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), which replaced FERA in 1999.
