A
Henry Cavendish
💡 Explanation:
Henry Cavendish is credited with the discovery of hydrogen in 1766, when he identified 'inflammable air' produced by reacting acids with metals. The question incorrectly uses 'invented' - scientists discover elements, they don't invent them. Cavendish recognized hydrogen as a distinct substance.
