{'freshwater resource': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'ganga river': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'yamuna river': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'water bodies': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'chilika lake': [1, 0, 1, 1], 'jaisamand': [1, 0, 0, 0]}

Option 1: Jaisamand - Jaisamand is a freshwater resource.

Option 2: Ganga River - The Ganga River is a freshwater resource. It is one of the longest rivers in India and is considered sacred.

Option 3: Yamuna River - The correct answer is option 3. The Yamuna River is not a freshwater resource. It is a tributary of the Ganga River and is heavily polluted due to industrial and domestic waste.

Option 4: Chilika Lake - Chilika Lake is a brackish water lagoon, which means it is a mix of fresh and saltwater. It is the largest coastal lagoon in India and supports a diverse ecosystem.

In summary, the Yamuna River is not a freshwater resource due to its pollution, while the other options, Jaisamand, Ganga River, and Chilika Lake, are all considered freshwater resources.
