Answer
Correct option: C.
Proust
The concept of atomic mass was proposed by William Prout. Early atomic mass theory was proposed by the English chemist William Prout in a series of published papers in $1815$ and $1816$. Known as Prout's Law, Prout suggested that the known elements had atomic weights that were whole number multiples of the atomic mass of hydrogen.
