Sagot :

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C.

Explanation:

Anton Leeuwenhoek observed the presence of organisms in his tooth scratch or scrapings under the primitive microscope made by himself. At that time there was no knowledge about the bacteria and he named these small creatures as animalcules. These animalcules were bacteria actually.

These creatures were single-cell organisms and able to perform the function as an entity and postulate that bacteria is a single which is a fundamental unit of function and structure of all living organisms.
