Answer»

Correct choice is (d) A GIVEN compound always contains ABSOLUTELY the same PROPORTION of elements by weight

For explanation I WOULD say: When Joseph Proust worked about the composition of elements present in a compound experimentally, he found out that it was the same for all the samples he TOOK. Joseph Louis concluded that from any source, a particular compound always contains the same elements in the same proportion by mass/weight.
