D Correct answer
Explanation

Abdus Salam was the first Pakistani to receive a Nobel Prize, awarded in Physics in 1979 for his work in electroweak unification. Benazir Bhutto and Zulfikar Ali Bhutto were Prime Ministers (neither won Nobel Prizes), and Gen. Zia-Ul-Haq was a military ruler. It's worth noting Malala Yousafzai later became Pakistan's second Nobel laureate (Peace Prize, 2014).
