Marie Curie and her husband Pierre were Henri Becquerel's graduate students when Becquerel

discovered spontaneous radiation. In 1903, the Curies shared the Nobel prize for physics with Becquerel.

Based on The Discovery of Radioactivity, which statement best describes Becquerel's influence on

Marie Curie's work with radioactivity?

Becquerel proposed the concept of radiation and Marie Curie reproduced his experiments.

Becquerel's work proved that radiation was far too dangerous for anyone to experiment with.

Marie Curie's work with Becquerel made her more curious and prompted her to research and

experiment with radioactivity.

Marie Curie was such a talented scientist that Becquerel's work did not have any influence on her

discoveries.
