D.1913 The first Nobel Prizes were awarded in 1901. The Peace Prize for that year was shared between the Frenchman Frédéric Passy and the Swiss Jean Henry Dunant.
Correct Answer:
B. 1901

Explanation

The first Nobel Prize was awarded in 1901. This answer is correct because the will of Alfred Nobel, the founder of the Nobel Prizes, was written in 1895, but the first awards were not made until five years after his death, which occurred in 1896, and the prizes were awarded on December 10, 1901, the fifth anniversary of his death. The QuizMaster of AnsweringExams.Com suggests remembering the year 1901 by associating it with the fact that the first Nobel Prizes were awarded to a total of five individuals that year, making it easy to recall the correct year. Other options are incorrect because they do not align with the historical records of when the first Nobel Prizes were awarded.
