Solution

The correct option is C Rudolph Virchow
  • The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life. Schleiden proposed that new cells arise from within the old cells, especially from the nucleus.
  • This was corrected by Rudolf Virchow who proposed, "Theory of cell lineage" it states that all cells arise from pre-existing cells.
Hence, the correct answer is option C.
