D
Explanation
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is the only UN agency among the options to have received the Nobel Peace Prize more than once. It was first awarded the prize in 1954 for its efforts in healing the wounds of war and providing assistance to refugees. It received the honor a second time in 1981 for its continued work in providing international protection and assistance to refugees globally [2]. Other UN agencies listed have received the prize only once: the International Labour Organization (ILO) in 1969, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) in 1965, and the World Food Programme (WFP) in 2020. While the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has won three times, it is not a UN agency [2].
