Correct Answer: (4)


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

Explanation : In this case, the original sentence is already correct. The use of the superlative "wisest" correctly compares Einstein to a group of individuals, and "men" is the appropriate plural form in this context, as it is a case of "one of".

Therefore, the given sentence requires no improvement .
