Charles Darwin is widely credited with publishing the first comprehensive and well-supported scientific theory of evolution in his 1859 book "On the Origin of Species". Marie Curie is known for her work in radiation and nuclear physics, not for evolutionary theory. Gregor Mendel is known for his groundbreaking work in genetics, but his pea plant experiments did not involve any evolutionary concepts. Isaac Newton is credited with developing the laws of motion and universal gravitation, but he did not contribute to the theory of evolution. Therefore, the only correct option is A, Charles Darwin.
