Answer:

The correct answer is option (c) a success because it did not detect a shift in the interference pattern.

Step-by-step explanation:

They both found out that the experiment that was carried out was not a failure since it did not detect any shift in the interference pattern.

With this findings it was widely regarded as correct and precise.
