Answer
Correct option: A.
Dr. Funk
The term vitamin was introduced by Dr. Casimir Funk.
He named nutritional parts of food as a "vitamine" after "vita" meaning life and "amine" from compounds found in the thiamine, he isolated from rice husks.
But later it was found that vitamin are not amines. Thus vitamin was later shortened to vitamin.
