A.

astrophysics.

B.

about his research

C.

in the field of

D.

He is famous

Correct option is B

Option (b) contains an error. The phrase "about his research" is incorrect as "about" is used improperly here.
The correct preposition to describe being well-known for something in a particular field is "for." Grammatical rule used: The preposition "for" is used to indicate the reason or cause of something, and is the correct choice for expressing fame or recognition in a specific context. Example: He is famous for his innovative approaches in biochemistry, not "about his innovative approaches."
