The Nordic Council comprises several countries in Northern Europe and the North Atlantic, and it aims to promote and encourage political, economic, and cultural cooperation among its members.

Option 1: Norway is a member. It is one of the original members of the Nordic Council, having joined with Denmark and Sweden on its foundation in 1952.

Option 2: Denmark is a member. Like Norway, Denmark was one of the Nordic Council`s founding members.

Option 3: Iceland is a member. It joined the Nordic Council slightly later, in 1955.

Option 4: The UK is not a member of the Nordic Council. Therefore, option 4 is the correct answer. The UK doesn`t geographically belong to the Nordic region and hasn`t been brought into the political and economic cooperation of the Nordic Council. While the UK has significant ties to these countries, it is not a participant in this specific council.
