At first read this theory from below then you will be able to get easily the answer of this following question.
Answer:
As per the data given in the above question.
Maxwell in 1864 showed that light is an electromagnetic wave and hence was supposed that there is an ether that propagates light rays. By observing how light propagates through the ether, one can determine an absolute reference frame. Hence, the Michelson Morley experiment was accomplished to detect ether that was assumed to be the carrier of light waves. The purpose of the Michelson and Morley experiment was to detect the velocity of the Earth to ether. The procedure was based on the optical device named interferometer that compares the path lengths for light rays travelling in perpendicular directions
Hence ,option(A) is correct
Hence ,option(A) is correct Michelson and Morley's experiment showed there is one absolute ether frame .
