Solution
The correct option is A stability
Rutherford suggested that the electrons revolve around the nucleus in a circular path. Any charged particle in circular motion undergoes acceleration and radiate energy. So, the electron would eventually lose energy and finally fall into the nucleus making the atom highly unstable. But almost all atoms are mostly stable in nature. He failed to explain the stability of the atom.
