D Correct answer
Explanation

Von Mohl introduced the term 'protoplasm' in 1846 to describe the jelly-like living substance within cells. J.E. Purkinje had used the term 'protoplasma' earlier for animal embryo material, but Von Mohl established it for the living cellular content. Dujardin discovered 'sarcode' in protozoa. Hertwig was an embryologist. Max Schultz is not associated with this discovery.
