Which Nobel Prize category is attributed to Marie Curie's awards in the material?

• A. Nobel Prize in Physics
• B. Nobel Prize in Chemistry
• C. Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine
• D. Nobel Prize in Science

Answer: (D)

Nobel Prizes don’t have a generic “Science” category. The real categories are Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, Peace, and the Economics prize. Marie Curie was awarded in two distinct fields: Physics in 1903 for work on radioactivity (shared with Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel) and Chemistry in 1911 for the discovery of polonium and radium. So the idea of a single “Science” prize isn’t correct—the appropriate awards for Curie were in Physics and Chemistry.
