Bhabha suggested the name ‘meson’ now used for a class of elementary particles. When Carl David Anderson (1905-91) discovered a new particle in the cosmic radiation with a mass between that of electron and the proton he named it ‘mesoton’ which was subsequently changed by him to mesotron presumably at the advice of Millikan. Bhabha in a short note to Nature (February 1939) proposed the name ‘meson’. Yukawa already suggested presence of these particles before their discovery by stating strong, short‐range force between neutrons and protons as due to an exchange of “heavy quanta''.So, the correct option is 'Mesons'.
