Solution

The correct option is C Electromagnetic Wave Theory
According to electromagnetic wave theory, all the accelerated charged particles should emit electromagnetic wave.

As per Rutherford’s model, electrons should continuously emit electromagnetic waves and finally should collapse into the nucleus.

Therefore, it failed to explain the stability of the atom.

Hence, option (C) is the correct answer.
