Hint:
The full form of ILO is the International Labour Organisation. It is a United Nations agency. It advances and ensures social and economic justice throughout the world. It was founded in 1918 under the League of Nations. The ILO has 187 member states.

Complete answer:
The headquarters of ILO (International Labour Organisation) is in Geneva (Switzerland). It has around 40 field offices around the world. It has some 2700 staff from over 150 nations. Out of these 2700 staff, 900 works in technical cooperation programmes and projects. This data shows that ILO is a big organisation with a good response. The ILO aims at ensuring accessible, productive and sustainable work. It ensures freedom, equity, security and dignity of workers.
Other options are incorrect because Washington, The Hague and Manila are headquarters of different international organisations.

Note:
In 1969, the ILO received the Nobel Peace prize for improving fraternity and peace among nations, pursuing decent work and justice for workers, and providing technical assistance to other developing nations.
