Solution

The correct option is A True
In 1815 AD, a Swedish chemist J.J. Berzelius put forward vital force theory to explain the origin of an organic compound. According to this theory, an organic compound is formed and synthesized only within living species( plants and animals ). The word ‘vital’ is derived from Latin term ‘vita’ which means life.
