The correct answer is Option A . . Young’s double slit experiment

Thomas Young, a British erudite and physician, through his light-interference experiment in 1801, was able to convincingly demonstrate that light is a wave, contrary to earlier ideas that light was composed of a stream of particles (originating from Isaac Newton).
