{'major oilseeds': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'order': [6, 12, 34, 35], 'production': [16, 4, 20, 51], 'groundnut': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'soyabean': [4, 2, 1, 0], 'sesamum': [1, 1, 0, 3], 'quantity': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13]}

Option 1: Sesamum, Mustard, Groundnut, Soyabean suggests that Sesamum is the highest in production which is incorrect.

Option 2: Groundnut, Mustard, SoyaBean, Sesamum suggests that Groundnut is the highest in production followed by Mustard, again incorrect.

Option 3: Mustard, SoyaBean, Groundnut, Sesamum is the correct option mainly because Mustard is the highest in production in India, followed by Soyabean, Groundnut and Sesamum in the given order.

Option 4: Groundnut, SoyaBean, Mustard, Sesamum, suggests again an incorrect order as it says that Groundnut is the highest in production which is not the case.

The correct sequence in descending order of oilseed production in India is Mustard, SoyaBean, Groundnut and Sesamum. Thus, option 3 is the correct answer.
