Solution

The correct option is C J.J. Thompson
J.J. Thomson, soon after the discovery of electrons, proposed the "plum pudding" model of the atom in 1904 that the negatively charged electron particles are being embedded in the uniformly spread positive charge in the atom just like plums in the pudding (an English desert).
