The theory of Relativity rests on the assumption that the speed of light is the same for any observer in any inertial frame of reference. Experimental evidence for this claim was found in the XX century, one example is the famous experiment by Michelson and Morley.

Therefore. the correct choice is: Option A) Is the same for all observers in any inertial frame of reference.
