Solution

The correct option is B

Jan Ingenhousz


Jan Ingenhousz conducted the experiment with the same setup as that used by Joseph Priestley to determine the importance of air for photosynthesis; however, instead of placing the setup in light, he placed it in dark. He observed that the plant could not help keep the candle burning.
