Solution

The correct option is B Cavendish's Experiment
The constant of proportionality $G$ was determined by Henry Cavendish using a torsion balance. Cavendish's experiment involved a rigid rod, two small lead spheres attached at the ends of the rod and suspended by a thin wire. Cavendish had calibrated his instrument to determine the relationship between the angle of rotation and the amount of torsional force.
