Solution

The correct option is C

i, ii, vi


Statements (i, ii, vi) are direct postulates of Dalton’s Theory.

Atoms are indivisible according to Dalton, so statement (iii) is wrong.

Atoms of given element are identical in mass and chemical properties, so statement (ii) is correct

The relative number and kinds of atoms are constant in a given Compound. So the statement (v) is false.
