Answer: Option C. Newton

Explanation:

Fresnel played an important role in formation of wave theory of light.

Maxwell gave the equations to describe the light wave as a combination of electric field and magnetic field.

Arago confirmed the wave theory of light given by Fresnel later on through an experiment.

Newton did not support the wave motion of light. He considered light is made of particles - photons - quanta of energy.

Hence, the correct option is C. Newton
