Correct Answer: is one of the most


Solution : The first option is the correct choice.

The use of the before most in the phrase one of the most is required when making superlative comparisons. In this case, the most eminent is a superlative form that emphasises the highest level of eminence among modern scientists.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "In spite of being seriously handicapped, Stephen Hawking is one of the most eminent modern scientists."
