Solution

The correct option is E Flemming
The term chromatin was coined by a German anatomist Walther Flemming.
Chromatin is a viscous, gelatinous substance made up of DNA, RNA, basic proteins called histones or acidic proteins called nonhistones.
The term chromatin is formed from the word- khroma meaning "colour" and a suffix -in.
So, the correct answer is 'Flemming'.
