Solution

The correct option is D Muslim
Abdus Salam's cemetery bore the words ‘First Muslim Nobel Laureate’. But since he was an Ahmadi, some people demanded that the word Muslim be taken down from his grave. Eventually, the government gave in, and the word ‘Muslim’ was removed from his tombstone.
