He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009 by Barack Obama, was born in England (Oxford, 1942), did his BA at Oxford University, and his principal fields are theoretical cosmology and quantum gravity. Hawking is one of the most famous physicists in history, known for his work on black holes and his book 'A Brief History of Time'. The other options are fictional or misnamed physicists.
