Solution

The correct option is B J.E. Purkinje
Protoplasm or living matter is a polyphasic crystallo-colloidal complex that possesses all the properties of life and is found inside living cells. It was called sarcode by Dujardin in 1835. The term protoplasm was coined by Purkinje in 1839. Huxley (1868) has called it as physical basis of life because all the properties of life reside in the protoplasm.
