Explanation

The correct answer is (a), meaning only one organization on the list has won the Nobel Peace Prize twice. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) (3) was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize twice, first in 1954 and again in 1981, for its global assistance to displaced populations[cite: 3203, 3204]. The remaining entities have each won the award exactly once: the International Labour Organization (ILO) in 1969 , UNICEF in 1965 , and the World Food Programme (WFP) in 2020.
