C Correct answer
Explanation

Albert Einstein won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect, not for relativity theory which was already well-established. Option A (special relativity) is a common misconception - relativity was too controversial and theoretical at the time. Option B is humorous trivia about his appearance, not a scientific achievement.
