Solution

The correct option is C Theodor Boveri
Theodor Boveri and Walter Sutton are the scientists credited with an extension of Mendel's laws, known as the chromosome theory of inheritance. In essence, this theory, which was developed in the early 1900s, explains what Mendel observed in his pea plants, otherwise known as the Boveri and Sutton chromosome theory.
Hence the correct answer is Theoder Boveri and Walter Sutton.
So, the correct answer is 'Theodor Boveri'
