Einstein's opposition to nuclear weapons places his scientific achievements in which moral direction?

Correct answer: Human welfare and responsibility

Einstein’s opposition to nuclear weapons adds an ethical dimension to his scientific identity. He understood that scientific knowledge could be used destructively and therefore supported peace, international cooperation, and responsible control of dangerous weapons. The important lesson is not that science itself is harmful, but that scientists and societies must consider how discoveries are applied and whom they affect. Option B is correct because it expresses the direction of human welfare and responsibility. Destruction, political power, and commercial profit are possible motives of misuse, not the moral principle represented by his opposition.
