A
It is based on a scientific publication that is read by scientists worldwide.
B
It is based on the work of many scientists and leads to accurate predictions.
C
It is based on ideas that have been proven true and that are not subject to revision.
D
It is based on preliminary evidence but sill needs to be confirmed with experiments.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The unified cell theory states that: all living things are composed of one or more cells; the cell is the basic unit of life; and new cells arise from existing cells. Rudolf Virchow later made important contributions to this theory.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Cell Theory Is a Unifying Principle of Biology 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 classical cell theory was proposed by Theodor Schwann in 1839. There are three parts to this theory. The first part states that all organisms are made of cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cell theory states that cells are the basic structural unit of all living organisms. It is through cells that other functional structures of the organism are formed. In higher-order organisms, cells that share an origin are similar in structure and perform the same function. They group together to form tissues.
