{'noble peace prize': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'nobel laureate': [0, 0, 3, 0], 'prize amount': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'medal': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'diploma': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'oslo': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'document': [0, 0, 2, 1]}

Option 1 states that the Nobel Peace Prize is presented annually in Oslo by the king of Norway. This statement is correct. The Nobel Peace Prize is indeed presented every year in Oslo, Norway. However, it is not presented by the king of Norway, but instead by the chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

Option 2 states that the Nobel laureate receives three things: a diploma, a medal, and a document confirming the prize amount. This statement is also correct. Nobel laureates are awarded a diploma, which is an official document recognizing their achievement. They also receive a gold medal, which is a symbol of their accomplishment, and a document confirming the prize amount, which specifies the monetary value associated with the prize.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3, which states that both statements 1 and 2 are correct. However, it is important to note that while statement 1 is partially correct, it is not the king of Norway who presents the Nobel Peace Prize, but the chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee.
