Solution

The correct option is B multiple proportions
The law of multiple proportions says that If two elements form more than one compound between them, then the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will be ratios of small whole numbers.
Therefore, the ratio of the weights of oxygen which react with a fixed mass of the metal is $\frac{0.125}{0.2263}$ which is approx $1 : 2$ .
