CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

The Peace Prize ceremony is held in Oslo while the other prizes are presented in Stockholm.
In Stockholm the King of Sweden hands over the prize; in Oslo the King of Norway is present but the Chairman of the Nobel Committee hands it over.
The split follows Nobel's will, which gave the peace prize to a Norwegian committee.

Worth noting

Two details travel together here — the city and the person handing it over — and a question usually mixes one correct half with one wrong one.
