Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

In English, when multiple adjectives come before a noun, they follow a specific order of adjectives. The standard order is:

Opinion → Age → Origin → Noun

  • brilliant → Opinion (what you think about the scientist)
  • young → Age
  • Nigerian → Origin

So the correct sequence is:
brilliant (opinion) + young (age) + Nigerian (origin) + scientist
