Solution

The correct option is C John Dalton
John Dalton has only proposed the atomic theory of atoms. He said that atoms are indivisible. Through the other models, we can understand that atoms have particles inside it and can be divisible. So, his theory was proved wrong.

J.J. Thomson proposed the plum pudding model of an atom which has electrons randomly placed in an atom resembling a spherical christmas pudding.

Rutherford introduced an atomic model with positively charged nucleus and electrons revolving around it in circular path.

Niels Bohr put forward the concept of discrete orbits in which electrons are allowed to revolve around.
