Answer

B. Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier

Show ExplanationHide Explanation

Explanation

Joseph Fourier is associated with representing suitable periodic functions using sums of sine and cosine components. Convergence requires appropriate mathematical conditions; it is not an unrestricted assertion about every imaginable function. A purely sinusoidal signal may need only one component.
