Solution
The correct option is A True Dobereiner classified the elements into triads (group of three). He made the groups such that the atomic mass of the middle element was the average atomic mass of the other two elements. This is Dobernier's law of triads.
Li, Na, K is an example of Dobereiner's triad. Here, the average atomic mass of Li and K is equal to the atomic mass of Na
