The correct answer is Option D — Dr. Homi Jehangir Bhabha. Dr. Homi J. Bhabha (1909–1966) is known as the 'Father of Indian Nuclear Programme.' He founded the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) in 1945 and established the Atomic Energy Establishment Trombay (AEET) in 1954, which was later renamed Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC).
Why other options are wrong:
Option A (S.N. Bose): Satyendra Nath Bose is known for Bose-Einstein statistics, NOT for initiating atomic research.
Option B (A.P.J. Kalam): Kalam is known for missile program and ISRO, not primarily for atomic research initiation.
Option C (C.V. Raman): Raman is known for Raman Effect (1928 Nobel Prize), not atomic research.
