- ARonald Ross
- BHar Gobind Khorana
- CChandrasekhara Venkata Raman
- DVenkatraman Ramakrishnan
Explanation
Venkatraman Ramakrishnan, the Indian-origin structural biologist and 2009 Nobel laureate, served as President of the Royal Society (2015-2020). Ronald Ross, Har Gobind Khorana, and C. V. Raman were never Royal Society presidents. Hence Venkatraman Ramakrishnan is correct.
