The correct answer is: A-ii ;B-i;C-(iii)
Frank-Hertz's experiment demonstrated the existence of excited states in mercury atoms helping to confirm the quantum theory which predicted that electrons occupied only discrete quantized energy states. The photo-electric experiment demonstrated that photon is the particle of light, which can transfer momentum and energy due to collision. Davidson-Germer's experiment shows the wave nature of electrons.
