Somatogenic variations are somatic and non-inheritable. They are caused by the influence of the environment on the somatic cells. eg skin colour due to sun exposure.
This was proved by Weissman. He coined the terms somatogenetic and blastogenic variations. he was a supporter of neo-Darwinism.

So, the correct option is 'Weismann'.
