Solution

The correct option is C Beadle and tatum
Sir Archibald Garrod proposed that one enzyme is encoded by one gene. This hypothesis called One gene One enzyme hypothesis, was experimentally proved by Beadle and Tatum by using bread mould Neurospora. Beadle and Tatum showed bread mould mutants that were unable to make specific amino acids. In each one, a mutation had disrupted an enzyme needed to build a certain amino acid. This was caused due to specific gene mutation.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Beadle and Tatum'
