The correct answer is C. Edward Teller.
Edward Teller was a Hungarian-American theoretical physicist who was one of the key scientists involved in the Manhattan Project, the Allied effort to develop a functional atomic weapon during World War II. After the war, Teller became a leading advocate for the development of the hydrogen bomb, a much more powerful type of nuclear weapon. He is often referred to as the “father of the hydrogen bomb.”
Wernher von Braun was a German rocket scientist who was instrumental in the development of the V-2 rocket, a long-range ballistic missile used by Nazi Germany during World War II. After the war, von Braun worked for the United States government, where he helped to develop the Redstone rocket, which was used to launch the first American satellite, Explorer 1, in 1958.
J. Robert Oppenheimer was an American theoretical physicist who was the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory during the Manhattan Project. He is often referred to as the “father of the atomic bomb.”
Samuel Cohen was an American physicist who is credited with developing the neutron bomb, a type of nuclear weapon that is designed to kill people and destroy buildings without causing widespread damage to the environment.
