Solution

The correct option is C Weismann
Theory of continuity of germplasm was proposed by August Weismann (1892), a German Biologist. According to his theory, germ plasm, which is independent from all other cells of the body (somatoplasm), is the essential element of germ cells (eggs and sperm) and is the hereditary material that is passed from generation to generation. Hence, option C is correct.
