Correct answer · Option C
A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II
Explanation
Ivanowsky (1892) noted microbes pass through bacteria-proof filters (A-IV). Beijerinek (1898) called infectious fluid 'Contagium vivum fluidum' (B-I). Stanley (1935) crystallized viruses showing protein composition (C-III). Diener (1971) discovered viroids (D-II).
