Solution
The correct option is C Muller
Hermann Joseph Muller conducted three experiments in 1926-1927 which demonstrated that exposure to x-rays, of high-energy radiation, can cause genetic mutations, particularly in egg and sperm cells. In his experiments, Muller exposed fruit flies (Drosophila) to x-rays, mated the flies, and observed the number of mutations in the offspring.So, the correct answer is 'Muller'.
