Correct answer: A

The WHO, the ILO and the WTO are all at Geneva, which is the second-largest United Nations centre after New York.
The UN Environment Programme is at Nairobi.
Nairobi is the only headquarters of a major United Nations programme in the global South, which is the reason it is worth remembering separately.
