The answer is e. All four statements are part of Dalton's original atomic theory.

Explanation:

Proffesor John Dalton (1808) made a very important contribution to science with its atomic theory which is nowadays still used. Dalton's theory describes matter in terms of indivisible particles with different propeties.

Dalton's atomic theory contains the statements a., b., c. and d. and an additional statement can be added:

- Chemical compounds are composed by atoms of more than one element.
