Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Dalton created the atomic theory of matter, predicting that all the matters are made of different kinds of atoms and it was a building foundation of modern chemistry.

He also stated that different atoms make different elements and can be kept apart by atomic masses.

By this work he gave a future foundation for understanding of how atoms join together to form matter.
