Solution
The correct option is D Virchow The correct answer is (d) Virchow.
In 1838, Matthias Schleiden, a German Botanist, announced that every plant is made up of a large number of cells. He added that each of these cells performed various life processes. A year later, Theodor Schwannn, a German zoologist declared that all animals and plants are composed of cells, which serve as the units of structure and function.
In 1855, Virchow modified cell theory and gave one postulate that a cell has to arise from a pre-existing cell.
