Solution

The correct option is A James Clerk Maxwell
In 1864, Maxwell predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves, the existence of which had not been confirmed before that time, and out of his prediction came the concept of light being a wave, or more specifically, a type of electromagnetic wave.
It is a wide intuition that Albert Einstein proposed the dual nature theory but is not correct.
