- Enrico Fermi (Option 1) was an influential physicist known for his work on nuclear reactions and quantum theory, but not for discovering the neutron.
- J.S. Fleming (Option 2) was an electrical engineer and physicist, known for inventing the vacuum tube but not related to neutron discovery.
- Max Planck (Option 4) is known for founding quantum theory but was not involved in discovering the neutron.
