1. Viruses which---is not correct because we cannot use "WHICH" without comma before it. ---eliminate A.
2. Medicine as a prize---is not correct. ---eliminate C.
3. Being is not correct in D, and "discovery into viruses" is not correct. It could be "discovery of viruses" or "discovery relating to viruses." --eliminate D.
4. Their virus is not correct because "their X" means that they own X. They do not own virus. --Eliminate E.

Answer: E

Maybe there's a typo here. As your approach indicated, your answer is B, isn't it? .

I did choose E for this question. However, they did not discover viruses, they discovered something that led to the discoveries of viruses. In B "their discoveries concerning viruses" is correct.

What is the source of this question?

Is "Awarded to nobel prize" the right usage??

don't be afraid of failure and don't abandon it.

B is the best of the lot but the source does not seem top notch. The question is badly written.

My pick was B because of 2 logics :
1. awarded to.... for.... (eliminates C & D)
2. awarded for what?
discovery and not the virus :)
So, B

This is an unofficial source. Excuse for my mistake in the given sentence :

"Awarded the Nobel Prize" not "Awarded to Nobel Prize".
