Explanation
"In science, the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not to the man to whom the idea first occurs."Here's why:- "the" is used before "man" because it refers to a specific type of person, namely the one who convinces the world.- Using "the" emphasizes that the credit goes to a specific individual who takes the idea and makes it happen, rather than just anyone.

About Articles
Articles determine whether a noun is general, specific, known or representative: “a,” “an,” “the” and the zero article each have distinct uses. Questions cover countable and uncountable nouns, first and later mention, unique objects, proper nouns and choosing articles by sound, not merely by spelling.
