Solution

The correct option is D Darwin
Pangenesis was Charles Darwin hypothetical mechanism for heredity, in which he proposed that each part of the body continually emitted its own type of small organic particles called gemmules that aggregated in the gonads, contributing heritable information to the gametes.
So the correct option is "Darwin".
