Solution
The correct option is B Van Helmont
Van Helmont did an experiment to prove that plant took something from the soil for photosynthesis.He took a willow tree, weighed it and then planted it. After 5 years the tree gained 150 pounds but the soil weighed the same.So, during photosynthesis, the plant gains from the water and the carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere.So, the correct option is "Van Helmont"
