Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - The International Booker Prize is awarded to a book which is translated into English and published in the UK or Ireland. It is different from the Man Booker Prize, which is awarded to a work written in English.

  1. International Booker Prize: This prize is given to a book that has been translated into English and published in the UK or Ireland. It highlights translated literature and recognizes the efforts of both the original author and the translator. The emphasis is on literature from around the world being made accessible to English-speaking audiences.
  2. Man Booker Prize: This prize is awarded to a work originally written in English, regardless of its country of origin. It celebrates English-language literature and honors authors who have directly written their works in English.
