Correct answer: A

FIDE, the Fédération Internationale des Échecs, is the international chess federation.
Hockey is governed by the International Hockey Federation, usually written FIH.
The acronyms are French because many of these federations were founded in French-speaking Europe.

Worth noting

FIDE and FIH differ by one letter and govern completely different games, which is why they are so often offered against each other.
