Final answer:
The School of Social Sciences has its first Nobel Scholar, and she majored in Economics, therefore option A) Nobel, Economics is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The School of Social Sciences has the first Nobel Scholar. She was an Economics major. The correct answer to the student's question is A) Nobel, Economics. The Nobel Prize is an international award that is given for significant achievements in various fields including sciences and literature, indicating that it is quite prestigious and aligns with the context of a scholar in the School of Social Sciences. In contrast, the Pulitzer is associated with journalism and the arts, the Fulbright with international exchange and scholarship, and the MacArthur with a 'genius grant' for various disciplines. Since the student's question is specifically about the School of Social Sciences, the Nobel Prize in Economics is the most relevant and accurate choice.
