C) philosophical and intuitive speculation

Explanation:

Hi

Leucippus and Democritus proposed the concept of an atom based on philosophical speculation as a way of explaining reality with the scarcity of data available at that time.

The ideas of Leucippus and Democritus were rejected at that time but later retaken by Dalton when proposing his atomic model.
