• A. Graham Bell is a Scottish scientist, invented the telephone.
• B. Graham Bell, a Scottish scientist is the one who invented the telephone.
• C. Graham Bell, a Scottish scientist, invented the telephone.
• D. Graham Bell, a Scottish scientist and he invented the telephone.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Graham Bell, a Scottish scientist, invented the telephone.

To use noun phrase in apposition, two noun phrases are placed next to each other in a clause and refer to same thing, here “Graham Bell”, hence Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to the goal, hence incorrect.
