B Correct answer
Explanation

Sir Isaac Newton does not have an element named after him, unlike the other three scientists. Rutherfordium (Rf, 104) honors Ernest Rutherford, Seaborgium (Sg, 106) honors Glenn Seaborg, and Curium (Cm, 96) honors Marie Curie. Despite Newton's monumental contributions to physics, no element bears his name.
