Detailed Solution

Edison, an American scientist, invented the gramophone is the correct answer because as we know the sentence is referring to two things about Edison: that he is an American scientist as well as that he had invented the gramophone. So, in order to make the sentence clear, short, and crisp, here the usage of two commas is done to separate the clauses referring to a single person.
