{'laterite soil': [3, 0, 0, 0], 'maharashtra': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'kerala': [7, 2, 0, 3], 'rajasthan': [0, 0, 1, 18], 'uttar pradesh': [5, 1, 0, 7], 'states': [1, 0, 0, 1]}

Laterite soil is found in option 4, Maharashtra.

Option 1, Kerala, is incorrect as Kerala is known for its red and lateritic soils, but laterite soil is not exclusively found there.

Option 2, Uttar Pradesh, is incorrect as laterite soil is not typically found in this state.

Option 3, Rajasthan, is also incorrect as laterite soil is not found in the arid regions of Rajasthan.

Hence, the correct answer is option 4, Maharashtra, where laterite soil can be found. Laterite soil is a weathered soil that is rich in iron and aluminum and is mainly found in tropical and subtropical regions. It is often red in color and low in fertility, but can be suitable for growing certain crops with proper soil management techniques.
