Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

Among the listed United Nations organizations, UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) is the only one that has not been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The World Food Programme (WFP) received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2020 for its efforts to combat hunger and prevent its use as a weapon of war [1]. The International Labour Organization (ILO) was awarded the prize in 1969 for promoting social justice and fraternity among nations [1]. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has been honored twice, in 1954 and 1981, for its critical work in assisting refugees [2]. While UNESCO is a prominent specialized agency of the UN focused on education and culture, it has not received the Nobel Peace Prize as an organization [4].
