Solution

The correct option is A UN International Children's Emergency Fund
UNICEF was earlier known as United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund. It was formed by the UN General Assembly in 1946 to help children in the war-devastated countries. It became United Nations Children's Fund in 1953 by an elimination of the words "International" and "Emergency".
