Solution

The correct option is D Robert Mayer
Julius Robert von Mayer was a German physician and physicist. He was the first to state the law of the conservation of energy i.e., energy is neither created nor destroyed. He stated that the sun is the ultimate source of energy for both plants and animals and that when absorbed plants convert this light energy through the process of photosynthesis.
