Aisha Gentry · Answer 1

The correct option is 4) epiphany

Explanation:

The term 'epiphany' describes a moment of great realization or a sudden reaction or thinking. Issac Newton was sitting calmly before an apple hit his head. As soon as the apple hot his head, he got a sudden realization about gravity. Hence, based on this perspective we can say that the situation was an epiphany for Issac Newton.
