Solution

The correct option is A General Relativity
The special theory of relativity postulates the invariance of speed of light in inertial frames, that is, frames which are not accelerating with respect to each other.
According to this, the speed of light as observed by two observers moving with constant velocity with respect to each other, is equal to $c$ for both.
