Explanation
Option B is correct.Karl Landsteiner and Erwin Popper discovered the poliovirus in 1908. Landsteiner was an Austrian-American pathologist and immunologist, while Popper was an Austrian physician.

TMV can also be transmitted through the air, but this is less common.Baruch Blumberg, who discovered the hepatitis B virus (HBV) in 1967.
