Answer

Answer:

None of the above options are correct. Jocelyn Bell Burnell did not win the Nobel - Prize for her discovery of pulsars (the Nobel Prize for the discovery of pulsars was awarded to her supervisor and another scientist). She has received many other awards such as the Royal Society's Gold Medal.

Brief Explanations:

The Nobel Prize for the discovery of pulsars in 1974 was given to Antony Hewish and Martin Ryle, with some controversy as Jocelyn Bell Burnell, who first detected the pulsar signals, was not included. The Presidential Medal of Freedom is an American award, and the Fields Medal is for mathematics, neither related to her pulsar - discovery recognition.
