Solution

The correct option is B Weismann
Germplasm theory was proposed by A Weismann (1834-1914). According to this theory, a human body is made up of somatoplasm and germplasm. Somatoplasm is the tissue that unable to transfer the information from one generation to next generation while germplasm can transmit information from one generation to next generation because they enter into the germ cell.
