The correct option is A

Berzelius


A chemical compound is a substance made up of several similar molecules that are linked together by chemical bonds and contain atoms from multiple elements.

The vital force theory states that chemical compounds are not prepared in the laboratory they are naturally prepared.

The vital force theory states that organic compounds are not produced in a laboratory.

Organic compounds are formed under the action of some mysterious force that exists in living organisms.

The vital force theory was proposed by Jons Jacob Berzelius.

The vital force theory was overthrown by Friedrich Wohler in 1828.

This theory was disproved when ammonium cyanate was produced by urea in the laboratory.

Avogadro gives the law which states that an equal volume of gases contains an equal number of molecules under controlled temperature and pressure.

The law of conservation of mass is given by Lavoisier.

Hence, option (A) is the correct option.
