The correct answer is option 1, Arvid Carlsson. Arvid Carlsson was awarded the Nobel Prize for his path-breaking contributions to the development of treatment against Parkinson`s disease. Parkinson`s disease is a neurological disorder characterized by the degeneration of dopamine-producing cells in the brain. Arvid Carlsson`s research focused on the role of dopamine in the brain and how it is affected in Parkinson`s disease. His work led to the development of dopamine replacement therapy, which remains the cornerstone of treatment for Parkinson`s disease. Walter Kohn (option 2) was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Robert B. Laughlin (option 3) was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, and Ferid Murad (option 4) was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, but not for their contributions to Parkinson`s disease.
