Solution

The correct option is C 1868
Protoplasm or living matter is a polyphasic crystallo-colloidal complex that possesses all the properties of life and is found inside living cells. It was called sarcode by Dujardin. The term protoplasm was coined by Purkinje in 1839. Huxley in 1868 called protoplasm as 'Physical Basis of Life' because all the properties of life reside in the protoplasm.
