B Correct answer
Explanation

The Michelson-Morley experiment showed that the speed of light is constant in all directions, which contradicted the existence of luminiferous ether. Albert Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity (1905) explained these results by proposing that the speed of light is constant for all observers. Tycho Brahe, Wolfgang Pauli, and James Clerk Maxwell were not directly involved in explaining these results.
