Who was the first person to introduce the term "Genetics"?
Answer: B
The term genetics was introduced by W. Bateson.
William Bateson proposed the word in a letter of 1905 and used it publicly at a conference in 1906, for the science of heredity and variation. He was also one of those who brought Mendel's work to wide attention in Britain.
A. Marshall, J. F. Crow and D. Falconer are not credited with coining the term. Crow and Falconer are known for population and quantitative genetics, and they worked much later than Bateson, so they could not have introduced it.
