Nucleus was discovered by:

Correct answer: C. Robert Brown

  • A. Waldyne
  • B. T.H. Margan
  • C. Robert Brown
  • D. Kohler

Explanation

The correct answer is Robert Brown, who discovered the cell nucleus in 1831 while examining plant cells under a microscope. His observations laid foundational work for cell biology. Other options like Waldyne and Kohler are not associated with this discovery, and T.H. Margan is a misspelling of T.H. Morgan, who was unrelated to the discovery of the nucleus.
