{'lesser himalaya': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'longitudinal valley': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'shiwaliks': [2, 0, 0, 0], 'dihang': [2, 0, 0, 1], 'kullu': [2, 0, 1, 0]}

The correct answer is option 3, Duns. A dun is a type of valley that is formed between two mountain ranges, in this case, the lesser Himalaya and the Shiwaliks. These valleys are usually elongated and have a longitudinal shape. They are characterized by their flat or gently sloping terrain and are often fertile and suitable for agriculture. Examples of duns in the Indian subcontinent include the Dehradun, Kangra, and Terai duns. It is important to note that Dihang and Dibang, mentioned in options 1 and 2, are not the correct answers. Kullu, mentioned in option 4, is a valley in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, but it is not specifically related to the lesser Himalaya. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3, Duns.
