The correct answer is A. Salzmann.

Salzmann in 1950 was the first to classify malocclusion based on skeletal structures. 
• Skeletal Class I: These are purely dental malocclusions. The jaws are in harmony with one another. The profile is orthognathic. 
• Skeletal Class II: Subnormal and distal mandibular development in relation to maxilla 
• Skeletal Class III: Overgrowth of the mandible with a prognathic mandible.
