Solution

The correct option is D

Carl Wilhem Scheele


The credit for the discovery of chlorine goes to Carl Wilhelm Scheele in the year 1774 but he was not sure about the element.

It was Humphrey Davy who later identified the element chlorine and named it from the word chloros which means greenish yellow.
