Solution

The correct options are
A Law of conservation of mass
C Avogadro's law
The given Dalton's atomic postulate is as follow :

Compounds are formed when atoms of the different elements combine in a fixed ratio.

This statement is related to the Law of multiple proportion and Law of definite proportion.

Here Avogadro's law is related to the number of molecules of the different gases whereas Law of conservation of mass states that the total mass during the reaction is conserved.

Thus, Avogadro's law and Law of conservation of mass are not related to given Dalton's atomic theory.

Therefore, the option is A and C.
