I can eliminate two... And I'd think one is more likely but I can say for sure. Have you eliminated any?

C is the answer because Einstein's theory of relativity gave a lot towards radioactivity, with fission and fusion being one of the topics.

You said "C" and then mentioned radioactivity!  But also fission and fusion. But it's C?

anonymous · Answer

actually it's D

Thanks, @larquitta1995!

I would have eliminated A and B, and put my money on D if I gambled. Chemical breakdown is a lot of physics, but I know that radiation deals with electromagnetic waves. Very importantly, energy of photons and such. Einstein also worked on other atomic theory. But I would guess radiation. Einstein probably did much in both, though.
