Problem
The inability of the Bohr model to account for the fine structure of hydrogen spectral lines is mainly due to its neglect of
(a) neglect of the wave nature (de-Broglie behaviour) of the electron
(b) finite mass (recoil) of the nucleus not being taken into account
(c) relativistic mass variation and electron spin
(d) restriction to perfectly circular orbits (no elliptical paths)
