The correct answer is D. Antonine lavoise

Explanation

Antonine Lavoisier, was born in Paris in 1743 and died in 1794. He was a famous French chemist, father of modern chemistry. He successfully undertook the work of interpreting and systematizing the scattered knowledge of chemistry. He also developed a rigorous methodology of quantitative measurement that allowed him to definitively overcome the various hypotheses inherited from alchemy, establishing fundamental concepts and principles that helped to make chemistry a new science.

Other of his contributions was the distinction between elements (substances not decomposable by chemical processes) and compounds (substances composed of elements). As well as the definitive formulation of the law of conservation of matter (Lavoisier Law), which states that the amount of matter remains constant in the course of a chemical reaction. Therefore, Antonine Lavoisier is considered as the father of modern chemistry. So, the correct answer is D. Antonine Lavoise.
