Theory of Unification of two of basic four physical forces governing the universe was proposed by
A
Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan
B
Dr Abdus Salaam
C
Dr Ashfaq Ahmad
D
Dr Samar Mubarak
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Eventually, Abdus Salam, along with Glashow and Wienberg, provided a theory that showed the unification of the weak nuclear force and the electromagnetic force. They figured out that both these forces’ mathematical framework is quite similar and thereby proved the electroweak unification theory mathematically.

Detailed explanation-2: -They didn’t see any great need for a theory uniting electromagnetism and gravity. But Einstein, and several other scientists, did work on the problem of unification. In 1918, Hermann Weyl proposed a unification scheme based on a generalization of Riemannian geometry.

Detailed explanation-3: -In 1979, Pakistani scientist Abdus Salam won the Nobel Prize for physics. His life’s work was key to defining a theory of particle physics still used today, and it laid the groundwork for the 2012 discovery of the Higgs boson – the particle responsible for giving all other particles mass.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Grand Unified Theory is a vision of a physics theory that can combine three of the four fundamental forces into one single equation. The four forces are the Strong Nuclear Force, the Weak Nuclear Force, the Electro-Magnetic Force, and the Gravitational Force.
