Solution

The correct option is D Vuillemin
Vuillemin in 1889 used the term antibiosis (i.e., against life) to apply to the biology concept of the survival of the fittest, in which one organism destroys another to preserve its own life. It is from this root that the widely used term antibiotic has evolved.
