Final answer:

The National Recovery Administration was not created during WWI, but during the Great Depression as part of the New Deal, which distinguishes it from the other options that were indeed part of the WWI war effort.

Step-by-step explanation:

The agency/organization from the provided options that was NOT created by the Federal government to support the war effort in World War I is the National Recovery Administration. The War Industries Board (WIB), the Fuel Administration, and the Emergency Ship Corporation were indeed part of the unprecedented government intervention during WWI, which included controlling industrial output, regulating prices, and managing the economy to support the war efforts.

The National Recovery Administration, however, was created later, as part of the New Deal during the Great Depression under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, not during World War I.
