The correct option is B Roentgen
The X-Rays were discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen (1845-1923), a German professor. He discovered them accidentally while trying to pass cathode rays through the glass. Becquerel was the first person to discover evidence of radioactivity while Curie managed to discover the elements polonium and radium.
