Solution

The part of Dalton's atomic theory that was later proved to be incorrect is B: "All atoms of one kind are identical and cannot be divided."

This was proven incorrect with the discovery of isotopes, which are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, and thus different masses. Additionally, the discovery of subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, and electrons) showed that atoms can indeed be divided into smaller parts.
