Answer: D

S. Chandrasekhar's name is associated with astrophysics.

He calculated in 1930 that a white dwarf cannot exceed about 1.4 solar masses - the Chandrasekhar limit - beyond which it collapses into a neutron star or black hole. He shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1983, and NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory is named after him.
