C

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In biology, cell theory is a scientific theory first formulated in the mid-nineteenth century, that living organisms are made up of cells, that they are the basic structural/organizational unit of all organisms, and that all cells come from pre-existing cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cell theory states that all biological organisms are composed of cells; cells are the unit of life and all life come from preexisting life. The cell theory is so established today that it forms one of the unifying principles of biology.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cell theory was proposed by two scientists-Schleiden (1838)and Schwann (1839). It says that all the plants and animals are composed of cells and the cell is the basic unit of life. The cell theory was further expanded by Virchow (1855) by suggesting that all cells arise from pre-existing cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -The basic tenets of the cell theory are as follows: All living things are made up of one or more cells. The cell is the structural and functional unit of all living things. Cells come from pre-existing cells through the process of division.

Detailed explanation-5: -The cell theory states that cells form the building blocks of life. It introduces the properties of cell. It was proposed by Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann.
