Answer:

A) Steno explained that objects could change their composition without changing form.

Steno recognized that the tongue stones were the shark teeth and were formed of actual prehistoric shark teeth. He explained the shark teeth on the basis of corpuscular theory of matter" and said that all the matter is made of some minute particles.
