The correct option is C Hofmeister
Chromosomes are the threadlike structure that contains highly coiled compact DNA-protein complex that carries genetic information in a linear sequence of genes. They are the physical basis of heredity that transmits the genetic information. Hofmeister in 1848 first discovered chromosomes in the dividing pollen mother cells of Tradescantia. Hence, the correct answer is option C.
