Solution

The correct option is A Atoms are indivisible and indestructible

All matter is composed of small tiny particles called atoms. In Greek, the word atom is termed as indivisible which means that the atoms cannot be further broken down into smaller particles.

Dalton's atomic theory stated that all atoms are indivisible, indestructible, and unchangeable, which means atom of an element cannot be created, divided, destroyed, or split into smaller particles. Dalton also stated that new compounds are simply rearrangement of atoms.
