{'golden quadrilateral': [0, 0, 2, 2], 'south corridor': [0, 0, 4, 0], 'hyderabad': [4, 0, 0, 1], 'major cit ies': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'delhi': [4, 0, 4, 1], 'kolkata': [1, 0, 1, 2], 'mumbai': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'bengaluru': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'north': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

The correct answer is option 2, which states that statement 2 only is correct.

Statement 1, which states that the Golden Quadrilateral connects the four major cities of Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Kolkata, is incorrect. The Golden Quadrilateral is a highway network connecting major cities in India, but it does not specifically include these four cities. It connects Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata.

Statement 2, which states that the North-South Corridor will pass through Hyderabad, is correct. The North-South Corridor is a proposed highway corridor that aims to connect Srinagar in Northern India to Kanyakumari in Southern India. Hyderabad is one of the major cities that the corridor is expected to pass through.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2, as only statement 2 is correct.
