The correct option is D Benda
Mitochondria were discovered by Kolliker (1880) in striated muscles of insects and given the present name by Benda (1898). Mitochondria were called sarcomeres by Kolliker (1880), fila by Flemming (1882) and bioblasts by Altman (1890).
So, the correct answer is 'Benda'.
