Solution

The correct option is C Count Alessandro Volta
The Italian physicist, professor at Pavia, Count Alessandro Volta established that the animal electricity observed by Luigi Galvani in experiments with frog muscle tissue placed in contact with dissimilar metals, was not due to any exceptional property of animal tissues but was also generated whenever any wet body was sandwitched between dissimilar metals.
