Answer:
A) Einstein
Explanation:
The deflection of light in a gravitational field was predicted first by Einstein. Einstein developed his theory of general relativity. He calculated that the deflection predicted by his theory will be twice the Newtonian value.
According to the concept of general relativity, a light ray arriving from the left will be bent inwards in a way that its apparent direction of origin, when viewed from the right, shall differ by an angle say (α, the deflection angle) whose size will be inversely proportional to the distance of the closest approach of the ray path to the center of the mass.
