Answer:

Option D.

Explanation:

Some of the alpha particles Rutherford shot at the gold foil bounced back, some scattered; but the majority of them went right through. That meant there had to be some sort of positively charged subatomic particle in there that pulled them through, but it had to be at the center and couldn't take up a lot of room.
