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.
