Answer: (B)

The first African American to win the Nobel Peace Prize and a member of Omega Psi Phi was Dr. Ralph Bunche. He received the prestigious award in 1950 for his work as an intermediary in the Palestine crisis and his efforts in promoting peace and mediation during a time of significant conflict in the region. Dr. Bunche's contributions to diplomacy and peace efforts were groundbreaking, as he was one of the first individuals to successfully negotiate a ceasefire between conflicting parties and helped to lay the foundation for future international peace initiatives.

His affiliation with Omega Psi Phi highlights his commitment to service and excellence, values that the fraternity embodies. Dr. Bunche's legacy continues to be celebrated for his profound impact on civil rights and international diplomacy. The other individuals listed, while significant figures in African American history and civil rights, do not have the distinction of being the first African American Nobel Peace Prize winner as Dr. Bunche does.
