Thank you for the question. Please find the answer below:

Keeping in view the above mentioned statements, the correct option is the following; 

a) 1 and 2 only i.e; 

1. Light is affected by gravity. 

2. The Universe is constantly expanding.


These two predictions were made by Einstein. The formation of the theory was a long process because Einstein changed it once, but then continued with the theory that is often discussed in media.
