C. A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
Step-by-step solution
According to NCERT: M. Schleiden (1838), a German botanist, observed that all plants are composed of different kinds of cells (A-IV). T. Schwann (1839), a British zoologist, studied animal cells and reported that cells had a thin outer layer, today known as the plasma membrane (B-III). R. Virchow (1855) first explained that cells divide and new cells are formed from pre-existing cells, encapsulated in the phrase 'Omnis cellula-e cellula' (C-II). Anton Von Leeuwenhoek first saw and described a live cell (D-I). There
