The correct answer is option 2.

Statement 1 states that Doris Lessing becomes the oldest person to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2007, which is incorrect. The oldest person to win the Nobel Prize in Literature was actually Bob Dylan in 2016.

Statement 2 states that Doris Lessing is a school dropout, which is correct. Doris Lessing left school at the age of 14 and was essentially self-educated.

Statement 3 states that Jane Moor is the pseudonym of Doris Lessing, which is incorrect. Doris Lessing has not used the pseudonym Jane Moor.

Therefore, only statement 2 is correct. Doris Lessing is indeed a school dropout.
