{'french revolution': [6, 0, 1, 2], 'napoleonic code': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'tennis court oath': [0, 0, 0, 3], 'national convention': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'france': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'combinations': [2, 1, 0, 2], 'new constitution': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'event': [1, 0, 7, 2], 'year': [27, 4, 33, 49]}

Option 1: 1789 and Napoleonic Code. The Napoleonic Code, also known as the Civil Code of 1804, was indeed established in 1804 after the French Revolution. Therefore, this combination is incorrect.

Option 2: 1791 and Tennis Court Oath. The Tennis Court Oath took place on June 20, 1789, during the early stages of the French Revolution when members of the National Assembly pledged to not disband until they had drafted a new constitution. Therefore, this combination is incorrect.

Option 3: 1792 and National Convention. The National Convention was indeed established in 1792 after the fall of the monarchy and the execution of Louis XVI. It marked a turning point in the French Revolution and served as the governing body until 1795. Therefore, this combination is correct.

Option 4: 1804 and New Constitution of France. The New Constitution of France, also known as the Napoleonic Constitution, was established in 1799, not 1804. Therefore, this combination is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct combination of year and event concerning the French Revolution is Option 3, where 1792 is matched with the National Convention.
