Solution

The correct option is D Colloidal theory
The protoplasm is the living component of the plant cell. It involves four parts like cytoplasm, the vacuoles, a number of organelles and the nucleus. Wilson Fischer (1894) considered the protoplasm as a polyphase colloidal system. This theory is widely accepted as protoplasm is seen to exhibit the properties of colloids like suspension of solute particles giving heterogeneous appearance under microscope, cohesiveness of various particles, Brownian movement and cyclosis, etc.
Option D is correct.
