Vedclass · Answer

(D) Hugo de Vries was the first scientist to observe and describe mutations in the evening primrose plant, $Oenothera$ $	ext{lamarckiana}$. He coined the term 'mutation' to describe these sudden, heritable changes in the genetic material of an organism. While others like Muller and Stadler later worked on induced mutations using $X$-rays, the initial discovery of spontaneous mutations is credited to de Vries.
