{'east trade winds': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'good rainfall inwinter': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'haryana': [2, 0, 3, 3], 'uttar pradesh': [5, 1, 0, 7], 'gujarat': [2, 0, 1, 1], 'regions': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'punjab': [2, 0, 1, 0], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'tamil nadu': [3, 0, 1, 1], 'plains': [2, 1, 1, 3], 'north': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

Option 1: The coast of Gujarat does not greatly benefit from the north-east trade winds in terms of good rainfall in winter. The north-east trade winds do not bring significant rainfall to this region during the winter season.

Option 2: The plains of Uttar Pradesh also do not greatly benefit from the north-east trade winds in terms of good rainfall in winter. The north-east trade winds do not bring substantial rainfall to this region during the winter season.

Option 3: Tamil Nadu greatly benefits from the north-east trade winds in terms of good rainfall in winter. The north-east trade winds carry moisture from the Bay of Bengal, resulting in significant rainfall in Tamil Nadu during the winter season.

Option 4: Punjab and Haryana do not benefit from the north-east trade winds in terms of good rainfall in winter. These regions are located in the northwestern part of India and do not receive significant rainfall from the north-east trade winds during the winter season.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3 - Tamil Nadu, which greatly benefits from the north-east trade winds in terms of good rainfall in winter.
