Solution

The correct option is A Sharp and Roberts
This simple picture of gene structure completely changed when Richard J. Roberts and Phillip A. Sharp in 1977 independently discovered that genes could be discontinuous, that is, a given gene could be present in the genetic material (DNA) as several, well-separated segments.
So, the correct answer is 'Sharp and Roberts.'
