{'rabi crops': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'mango showers': [2, 0, 0, 1], 'showers': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'punjab': [2, 0, 1, 0], 'winter': [10, 0, 5, 12], 'western disturbances': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'kal': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'baisakhi': [1, 0, 0, 0]}

Option-1: Showers caused by jet streams are not specific to Punjab or the winter season. Jet streams are high-altitude air currents that can cause precipitation in various regions and at different times of the year. These showers may or may not be favorable for rabi crops in Punjab during winter.

Option-2: Mango showers are a weather phenomenon that occurs in India during the pre-monsoon season, typically around April-May. These showers are not specific to Punjab or the winter season and may not be favorable for rabi crops.

Option-3: Showers caused by western disturbances are the correct answer. Western disturbances are low-pressure systems that bring rain and snowfall to parts of North India during winter, including Punjab. These showers are essential for rabi crops as they provide much-needed moisture.

Option-4: "Kal-baisakhi" is a term mainly used for the pre-monsoon thunderstorms in West Bengal, Bihar, and other parts of eastern India. It is not relevant to Punjab or the winter season.

Therefore, the correct answer is option-3, as the showers caused by western disturbances are favorable to rabi crops in Punjab during winter.
