Solution

The correct option is D Jeremias Ritcher
Te law of reciprocal proportions was proposed by Jeremias Ritcher in 1792. It states that,
“If two diferent elements combine separately with the same weight of a third element, the ratio of the masses in which they do so are either same or a simple multiple of the mass ratio in which they combine among themselves.”
