Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is the only UN organization among the options to have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize twice. It first received the honor in 1954 for its humanitarian efforts to provide protection and assistance to refugees globally following World War II. It was awarded the prize a second time in 1981 for its continued work in promoting the fundamental rights of refugees amidst growing global displacement crises. Other UN-related entities mentioned in the options have received the prize only once: UNICEF in 1965 [2], the IAEA in 2005 [1], and the IPCC in 2007 [1]. While the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has won three times, it is not a UN organization [2].
