The total pressure exerted by the mixture of air and water vapour is equal to the sum of pressures which each constituent would exert, if it occupied the same space by itself. This statement is called

A Kinetic theory of gases
B Newton's law of gases
C Dalton's law of partial pressures
D Avogadro's hypothesis

Correct Answer: Dalton's law of partial pressures

Dalton's law also called Dalton's law of partial pressures,
it states that in a mixture of non-reacting gases, the total pressure exerted is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.
