• D. Holley and Matthaei

Answer 1

The correct option is B Erwin Neher and Bert Sakmann

In 1991, the Nobel prize in medicine or physiology was given to Erwin Neher and Bert Sarkmann for the discovery of single ion channels in cells.

This new method helped them to watch the activity of a single molecule.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
