Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
1. The question asks to identify the recipient of the Indira Gandhi Prize for Peace, Disarmament and Development for the year 2014.
2. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) was awarded the Indira Gandhi Prize for Peace, Disarmament and Development for 2014.
3. The prize recognized ISRO's significant contributions to strengthening international cooperation in the peaceful use of outer space and its pioneering role in harnessing space technology for development and social progress in India.
4. The other options, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), and Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), are premier research institutions in India but were not the recipients of this specific award for 2014.
5. Therefore, the correct answer is the Indian Space Research Organization.
