Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The predicate of a proposition is the part of the sentence that states what the subject is or does. In this case, "has been well confirmed by experiments" is the predicate because it talks about what has been done or confirmed. "The theory of relativity in physics" is the subject. Therefore, we can choose option C as the correct choice since it only includes the predicate part of the proposition.
