Solution

The correct option is C multiple proportion
The answer is multiple proportion.
When two elements combine to from two or more than two compounds, the weights of one of the element which combine with a fixed weight of the other, bear a simple whole number ratio is the law of multiple proportion and the given example supports the law.

Q. Law of constant proportion given by Joseph Proust that a chemical compound always consists of same element combined together in the same proportion by mass but there are some compound which are allotropic for example hydrogen and oxygen forms compound water which can be H2O or D2O that is heavy oxygen so this law should be wrong. This is same compound but with different mass
