{'shirin ebadi': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'nobel peace prize': [0, 0, 2, 1], 'libya': [0, 0, 0, 3], 'nigeria': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'iran': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'iraq': [9, 2, 8, 16]}

Shirin Ebadi, a human rights lawyer, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2003. She is from Iran, which is why option 3 is the correct answer.

Option 1, Iraq, is incorrect as Shirin Ebadi is not from this country. Similarly, option 2, Nigeria, doesn`t match with the nationality of Shirin Ebadi. Finally, option 4, Libya, is also incorrect for the same reason.

Shirin Ebadi`s work in Iran for women`s, children`s, and refugee rights led to her receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, making her the first Iranian and Muslim woman to receive the award. Hence, her connection to Iran is significant and is the correct answer to this question.
