    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."
