{'atlantic ocean': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'mediterranean sea': [2, 0, 1, 3], 'ocean': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'sea': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'north pacific ocean': [0, 0, 0, 5], 'indian ocean': [2, 2, 0, 2], 'island': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'cyprus': [0, 2, 2, 1], 'falkland': [0, 2, 1, 2], 'islas cocos': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'chagos': [0, 0, 1, 1]}

In this question, we need to determine the pair of Island and Sea/Ocean that is not correctly matched.

Option 1: Cyprus in the Mediterranean Sea. This is a valid pairing because the island of Cyprus is indeed located in the Mediterranean Sea.

Option 2: Falkland in the Atlantic Ocean. This is also a valid pairing because the Falkland Islands are located in the South Atlantic Ocean.

Option 3: Chagos in the North Pacific Ocean. This is the incorrect pairing. The Chagos Archipelago is actually located in the Indian Ocean, not the North Pacific Ocean. Therefore, option 3 is the correct answer.

Option 4: Islas Cocos in the Indian Ocean. This is a valid pairing because the Cocos (Keeling) Islands are indeed located in the Indian Ocean.

In summary, the pair of Chagos and North Pacific Ocean is not correctly matched, making option 3 the correct answer.
