From the clue, “Many know him for his greater scientific achievements”, blank (1) should be a positive word. So, blank(ii) should also have positive word and hence C and D.

The sentence is pointing to the direction that Benjamin values the public service --> A, B are negative
--> First blank should be C.
The same positive stance continues and we need another positive option for second blank --> Only D is positive.
Hence C,D is the answer.
