{'biosphere reserve': [1, 0, 2, 1], 'agasthyamalai': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'pachmarhi': [2, 0, 2, 2], 'gir': [2, 0, 0, 1], 'nandadevi': [5, 0, 1, 0]}

The correct answer is option 1, Gir. The reason why Gir is not a biosphere reserve in India is because it is actually a wildlife sanctuary and national park located in the state of Gujarat. Gir is well-known for being the only natural habitat of the Asiatic lions in the world.

On the other hand, options 2, 3, and 4 are all biosphere reserves in India. NandaDevi is located in the state of Uttarakhand and is home to the Nanda Devi peak, the second highest mountain in India. Pachmarhi is located in Madhya Pradesh and is known for its rich biodiversity and unique geological features. Agasthyamalai is located in the southern state of Kerala and Tamil Nadu and is known for its wide range of flora and fauna.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1, Gir, which is not a biosphere reserve in India.
