Explanation:

• Rosalind Franklin is known for her work on the X - ray crystallography of DNA, which was crucial for understanding its structure, but not for discovering its function in 1944.
• Oswald Avery, along with his colleagues, in 1944 provided evidence that DNA is the genetic material (discovered the function of DNA as the carrier of genetic information).
• James Watson and Francis Crick are famous for determining the double - helix structure of DNA in 1953, not for the discovery of its function in 1944.
• Friedrich Miescher discovered nucleic acids (including DNA) in 1869, not the function of DNA in 1944.

Answer:

Oswald Avery
