{'biosphere reserves': [1, 1, 7, 2], 'nanda devi biosphere reserve': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'biosphere': [3, 0, 0, 1], 'unesco': [2, 0, 3, 4], 'ecological conservation': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'ecosystems': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'madhya pradesh': [16, 0, 16, 28], 'worldwide programme': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'genetic diversity': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

The correct answer is option 3. The statement that Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve is located in Madhya Pradesh is incorrect. Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve is actually located in the state of Uttarakhand in India.

Option 1 is correct. In 1973, UNESCO launched a worldwide program called Man and Biosphere (MAB) to encourage sustainable development and conservation of natural resources.

Option 2 is correct. Biosphere reserves aim to promote research and ecological conservation. They serve as platforms for scientific research, monitoring of biodiversity, and sustainable development practices.

Option 4 is correct. Biosphere reserves are indeed multipurpose protected areas that are established to preserve the genetic diversity in ecosystems. They not only conserve natural resources but also support the sustainable use of resources by the local communities.

In summary, all options except for option 3 provide accurate statements about biosphere reserves. The Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve is not located in Madhya Pradesh but in Uttarakhand.
