{'laos': [0, 0, 3, 1], 'cambodia': [1, 0, 16, 5], 'thailand': [0, 0, 2, 2], 'asia': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'vietnam': [1, 1, 15, 20], 'countries': [1, 0, 2, 6], 'land': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is option 3, Laos.

To understand why Laos is the land-locked country among the given options, we need to know the definition of a land-locked country. A land-locked country is a country that does not have a coastline or any access to the ocean or sea. It is surrounded completely by land.

Option 1, Vietnam, is not a land-locked country as it has a coastline along the South China Sea.

Option 2, Cambodia, is not a land-locked country either as it has access to the Gulf of Thailand.

Option 4, Thailand, is also not a land-locked country as it has coastlines on the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand.

Therefore, based on the given options, Laos is the only land-locked country as it is completely surrounded by land and does not have access to any sea or ocean.
