The committee that selects the winners for the Nobel Peace Prize is located in Norway as per option 1. The Nobel Prize was established in the will of Alfred Nobel, a Swedish industrialist, and inventor of dynamite. While most Nobel prizes are presented in Sweden, Nobel`s will stated that the Peace Prize should be awarded by a committee elected by the Norwegian Parliament (Storting), therefore it is presented in Oslo, Norway.

Options 2 (Sweden), 3 (Finland), and 4 (Denmark) are incorrect. While Sweden is associated with other categories of the Nobel Prize such as Literature, Physics, Chemistry, and Medicine, it is not involved in the Peace Prize. Finland and Denmark do not have any direct associations with Nobel prizes, rendering those options invalid.
