Answer 1

Answer: (E)

Meghnad Saha (1893–1956) was a renowned Indian physicist. He is best known for the Saha ionization equation, which explains the physical and chemical conditions of stars by relating the ionization state of an element to temperature and pressure.
His contributions laid the foundation of modern astrophysics, particularly in understanding stellar atmospheres and spectra.
He also played a major role in scientific policy-making in independent India. \fbox{\parbox{0.97\linewidth}{ \centering Meghnad Saha was a famous $\boxed{\text{Physicist}}$. }}
