Sir Fazle Hasan Abed, a Bangladeshi social worker and founder of BRAC (formerly Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee), was awarded the World Food Prize in 2015. He was recognized for his transformative leadership in establishing and scaling up programs that have empowered millions of people to escape poverty and hunger in Bangladesh and other countries.

Option 2, Baldev Singh Dhillon, has not been awarded the World Food Prize.

Option 4, Rajendra Singh Paroda, has not been awarded the World Food Prize either.

Therefore, the correct answer is 3, Sir Fazle Hasan Abed.
