Answer:

The correct answer is option C. "Seven-year-old boy Will Galmot".

Explanation:

Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson believes that Pluto should be considered a dwarf planet. One of the most remembered actions of Dr. Tyson towards Pluto, was that it was not included in the Hayden Planetarium's model of his museum exhibit. In the NPR interview, "Astrophysicist Chronicles Battle over Pluto", Dr. Tyson explained that the credit of this realization belongs to seven-year-old boy Will Galmot. Will Galmot sent a letter to the museum asking to include Pluto, and even made a draw of how Pluto should look like for its inclusion in the model.
