{'southern parts': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'equator': [10, 0, 6, 7], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'arctic circle': [1, 0, 2, 1], 'tropic': [2, 0, 2, 1], 'capricorn': [2, 0, 0, 0]}

The correct answer is option 2: Tropic of Cancer.

The Tropic of Cancer is an imaginary line that runs across the Earth at a latitude of 23.5 degrees north of the Equator. It is one of the five major circles of latitude, or parallels, that are used to divide the Earth into different climatic and geographic regions.

In the case of India, the Tropic of Cancer divides the country into its northern and southern parts. The parts of India that are located north of the Tropic of Cancer experience a subtropical climate, while the parts located south of the Tropic of Cancer experience a tropical climate. This division has significant implications for the climate, vegetation, and agricultural patterns in the different regions of India.

Therefore, the Tropic of Cancer serves as an important geographical marker in dividing India into its northern and southern parts.
