Need to display some data from JSON for user if they are checked

Question

The JSON is a nested one. at first it will display some services for the user with check-boxes, then user can check them if he is interested. When he clicks the button it should to display the service info of which user wanted. I really appreciate if anyone can help, I am new to json. I have one HTML and one JS also a JSON file. Using the Node for local host and some css. I think I need to use the for.Each to check if the check box is checked and it is obvious I am not using it properly.

function displayProviders()
{
    var json =  {
    "d":
    [
      {
      "question":"Service type 1?",
       "answer": "answer 1",
      "providers:" :  
      [
      {
        "Organization": "provider 1-A",
        "Link": "href= https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9463233/how-to-access-nested-json-data"
      },
      {
        "Organization": "Provider 1-B",
        "Link": "href= https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9463233/how-to-access-nested-json-data"
      }
    ]
    
    },
    {
      "question":"Service type 2?",
       "answer": "answer 1",
      "providers:" :  
      [
      {
        "Organization": "provider 2-A",

     var check=false;
 

    });

Do you have any demo or so which could make the question a bit more clear? — Nikhil Singh, Sep 08 '20 at 03:06
Maybe if you try to run code snippet, it helps. Sorry if I describe it confusing — Ellie, Sep 08 '20 at 03:26
Is it something like when the user checks some of the checkboxes, it should display the relevant data after the click of the get answer here button ? — Nikhil Singh, Sep 08 '20 at 03:39
And the text should contain the data related to the provider object for that respective selected option ? — Nikhil Singh, Sep 08 '20 at 03:41
Oh yes exactly, and I've been working on it the entire weekend with no success. — Ellie, Sep 08 '20 at 04:32
I am almost done, just wanted to know is there any specific reason of keeping the same json data twice? — Nikhil Singh, Sep 08 '20 at 05:58

This might help you, I have refactored the code too,

// data for services and providers display 
const json = {
  "d":
    [
      {
        "question": "Service type 1?",
        "providers:":
          [
            {
              "Organization": "provider 1-A",
              "Link": "href= https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9463233/how-to-access-nested-json-data"
            },
            {
              "Organization": "Provider 1-B",
              "Link": "href= https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9463233/how-to-access-nested-json-data"
            }
          ]

      },
      {
        "question": "Service type 2?",
        "providers:":
          [
            {
              "Organization": "provider 2-A",
              "Link": "href= https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9463233/how-to-access-nested-json-data"
            },
            {
              "Organization": "Provider 2-B",
              "Link": "href= https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9463233/how-to-access-nested-json-data"
            }
          ]

      },

      {
        "question": "Service type 3?",
        "providers:":
          [
            {
              "Organization": "provider 3-A",
              "Link": "href= https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9463233/how-to-access-nested-json-data"

              "Link": "href= https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9463233/how-to-access-nested-json-data"
            }
          ]
      }
    ]
};


// checked boxes map
let checkedBoxMap = new Map();

// to add checked data
function addCheckedData(event) {
  if (event.target.checked) {
    checkedBoxMap.set(Number(event.target.getAttribute('data-num')), true);
  } else {
    checkedBoxMap.delete(Number(event.target.getAttribute('data-num')));
  }
}

// display providers 
function displayProviders() {
  let content = '';
  for (let key of checkedBoxMap.keys()) {
    const providers = json.d[key]['providers:'];
    providers.forEach(element => {
      content += `<div>Organisation: ${element.Organization}<br/>Link - <a ${element.Link}>click here</a></div>`
    })
  }
  document.getElementById('content').innerHTML = content;
}

// to display services with checkbox
function ServicesWithCheckbox() {
  const $grouplist = $('#checkboxes');
  $.each(json.d, function (index) {
    $(`<label>${this.question}: </label><input onchange="addCheckedData(event)" type=checkbox data-num=${index} /><br>`).appendTo($grouplist);
