Solution
The correct option is B Maurice Hugh Frederick Wilkins
Francis Crick and James Watson described the structure of DNA helix in a scientific paper in 1953 and nine years later, in 1962, they shared Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Maurice Hugh Frederick Wilkins.Erwin Chargaff made a quantitative analysis of DNA and proposed Chargaff's rule which states that for double-stranded DNA, a proportion of purines always an equal proportion of pyrimidines.Rosalind Franklin discovered the structure of DNA by doing X-ray diffraction.Phoebus Levene discovered that DNA is made up of four nucleotides, a ribose sugar and a phosphate group.So, the correct answer is 'Maurice Hugh Frederick Wilkins'.
