Solution

The correct option is B

Non - divisible


Atoms were impenetrably hard, meaning they could not be divided. In Greek, the prefix "a" means "not" and the word "tomos" means cut. Our word atom therefore comes from atomos, .The word is derived from the Greek word "atomos", meaning indivisible.
