CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Sveriges Riksbank, Sweden's central bank, established the Prize in Economic Sciences in 1968.
The other four prizes named here come from Nobel's will of 1895, which assigned each to an awarding institution.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee awards the Peace Prize under the will rather than having created the prize.

Worth noting

Awarding a prize and establishing one are different acts, and this question turns on that difference. Only one of these prizes has a founder outside the will.
