Butenandt's initial Nobel Prize rejection was partly due to policies set by whom?

  • The Nobel Committee

  • Max Planck Society

  • Adolf Hitler

  • The United Nations

Answer

Adolf Hitler's policies played a role in Butenandt's initial rejection of the Nobel Prize. Butenandt, a German biochemist, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1939 for his work on hormones, but initially declined the honor due to pressure from the Nazi regime. Hitler's government had strict control over scientific research and sought to suppress any recognition or association with international organizations or awards.
