A
Watson and Crick
B
Hershey and Chase
C
Franklin
D
Char gaff
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Watson and Crick brought together data from a number of researchers (including Franklin, Wilkins, Chargaff, and others) to assemble their celebrated model of the 3D structure of DNA. In 1962, James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

Detailed explanation-2: -jpg. James Watson and Francis Crick with their DNA model at the Cavendish Laboratories in 1953.

Detailed explanation-3: -Taken in 1952, this image is the first X-ray picture of DNA, which led to the discovery of its molecular structure by Watson and Crick. Created by Rosalind Franklin using a technique called X-ray crystallography, it revealed the helical shape of the DNA molecule.
