Solution
The correct option is C Dutrochet. Leeuwenhoek was the first to see 'free-living cells' under his microscope. In 1809, Lamarck concluded that all living beings are formed of cells. Living substance was first observed by Corti in 1772 and was named sarcode by Dujardin in 1835. Dutrochet believed in the individuality of cells, i.e., living organisms are made up of a number of individual cells. The nucleus was discovered by Robert Brown and Schleiden and Schwann are credited with the formulation of the cell theory.
