{'first cloned sheep': [1, 0, 2, 0], 'first portable computer': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'ian wilmut': [0, 0, 2, 0]}

Option 1 states that Ian Wilmut produced the first portable computer. However, this statement is incorrect. Ian Wilmut is a biologist who is best known for cloning the first mammal, Dolly the sheep, but he did not have any involvement in creating the first portable computer.

Option 2 states that Adam Osborne created the first cloned sheep. This statement is also incorrect. Adam Osborne was a computer engineer and entrepreneur who is known for creating the first commercially successful portable computer, called the Osborne 1. He did not have any involvement in cloning sheep or any other animals.

Therefore, both statements in options 1 and 2 are incorrect. The correct answer is option 4, which states that neither statement 1 nor statement 2 is correct.
