The correct option is B Schleiden
- In 1838, Matthias Schleiden, who was a German Botanist while studying many plants he made an observation that plants are also composed of different kinds of cells.
- These cells were arranged into tissues. Whereas Schwann was studying animal cells and reported the existence of a cell membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm.
- Together Schleiden and Schwann proposed cell theory based on their observation of plants and animal cells.
- So Schleiden applied cell theory specifically to plants and Schwann to animals.
