Answer

Correct option: A.
Boyle
Boyle, in particular, is regarded as the founding father of chemistry due to his most important work, the classic chemistry text $-$ "The Sceptical Chymist" $(1661),$ where the differentiation is made between the claims of Alchemy and the empirical scientific discoveries of the new chemistry.He formulated Boyle's law, rejected the classical "four elements" and proposed a mechanistic alternative of atoms and chemical reactions that could be subjected to rigorous experiments.
