Explanation

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is not correctly matched with New York. According to official records, the IAEA is headquartered at the Vienna International Centre in Vienna, Austria [t1][t4][t5]. While it maintains a liaison office at the United Nations in New York, its primary seat is in Vienna [t5][t7]. The other pairs are correctly matched: the International Labour Organization (ILO) is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland [c3][t3]; the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is based in London, United Kingdom [t1][t3]; and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is located in Washington D.C., USA [c2][c3][t1]. The IAEA was established in 1957 as an autonomous organization to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy and is part of the UN common system [t1][t7].
