Answer:

The correct answer will be option-Ernest Rutherford.

Step-by-step explanation:

Atom is the smallest unit of matter which was earlier thought to be indestructible but later new findings suggested that atom contains sub-atomic particles.

The arrangements of these sub-atomic particles in an atom were represented by many models, best accepted of which is presented by Ernest Rutherford in 1911.

His experimental findings concluded that a dense heavy nucleus is present in the center of an atom which is surrounded by a negatively charged nucleus.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
