  1. Marie Curie

  3. Antoine Henri Becquerel

  4. Isaac Newton

The correct answer is: Antoine Henri Becquerel

Although Marie Curie and Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen are both famous for their work with radiation, they did not discover the specific type of radiation emitted by uranium. Additionally, Isaac Newton made significant contributions to the field of physics, but he did not make any discoveries related to uranium or radiation. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
