Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (d) Albert Einstein
Explanation
The Theory of Relativity was presented by Albert Einstein, comprising Special Relativity (1905) and General Relativity (1915).
It holds that the speed of light is constant for all observers and that space and time are relative to the frame of reference.
Newton gave gravitation and motion laws, while Hawking and Curie worked in other fields – not relativity.
