When did Einstein Published his General Theory of Relativity?
A
1915
B
1919
C
1916
D
1918
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Einstein developed general relativity between 1907 and 1915, with contributions by many others after 1915. The final form of general relativity was published in 1916.

Detailed explanation-2: -Einstein’s 1915 general theory of relativity holds that what we perceive as the force of gravity arises from the curvature of space and time.

Detailed explanation-3: -In 1916, Albert Einstein published his general theory of relativity in full mathematical detail. That opened the window on a radically new framework for physics, abolishing established notions of space and time and replacing Newton’s formulation of the laws of gravity.

Detailed explanation-4: -“The Field Equations of Gravitation”-Einstein spent a decade developing the general theory of relativity and published this article in late 1915.

Detailed explanation-5: -In 1913, Einstein improved upon those calculations by using the curvature of spacetime to represent the gravity field. By the fall of 1915, Einstein had successfully completed his general theory of relativity, which he used to calculate that deflection, and the perihelion precession of Mercury.
