On which date and in which country was the first Nobel Prize awarded?
A. 5th November 1901 in Oslo, Norway
B. 10th December 1901 in Stockholm, Sweden
C. 20th October 1901 in Copenhagen, Denmark
D. 15th January 1902 in Helsinki, Finland
Explanation:
The first Nobel Prize was indeed awarded on 10th December 1901 in Stockholm, Sweden.
Option A, “5th November 1901 in Oslo, Norway,” is incorrect. Although the Nobel Peace Prize is presented annually in Oslo, the first Nobel Prize in general was not awarded in Oslo on that date.
Option C, “20th October 1901 in Copenhagen, Denmark,” is also incorrect. Copenhagen is the capital city of Denmark, but it is not the location where the first Nobel Prize was awarded.
Option D, “15th January 1902 in Helsinki, Finland,” is incorrect as well. While Finland has a rich history in Nobel Prizes, the first Nobel Prize was not awarded in Helsinki on that particular date.
Therefore, the correct answer is B, “10th December 1901 in Stockholm, Sweden.” Stockholm is the capital city of Sweden and the place where the first Nobel Prize ceremony took place.
