Solution

The correct option is C Metchnikoff
Antibodies are made by the immune system to fight a germ, and they remain in the blood for some time after infection resolves. Thomas Henry Huxley is known for his advocacy of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.
Ernst Haeckel was the one, who discovered, described and named thousands of new species and coined many terms in biology like 'phylum' 'stem cell' etc.
Ellie Metchnikoff, a Russian scientist was the first to discover phagocytosis, which is a cell-mediated immune response to the foreign matter.
Eduard Strasburger was one of the most famous botanists.
Thus, the correct answer is the option C.
