C. Scientific observations show that microscopic organisms living in the deep ocean are not made up of cells

Explanation: The cellular theory says that cells are the structural and functional basic unit of life, that all living organisms are made up of cells and that cells came from other cells. This theory should be modified if there's scientific observations that challenge the postulates: living organisms that were not made up of cells can't have cells as functional and structural units, for example.

answer; i believe the correct answer is (sporophyte);

you did not attach the discourse, but i assume it to be the discourse on the origin and basis of inequality among men (the original titile in french is: "discours sur l'origine et les fondements de l'inégalité parmi les hommes"), also know as "second discourse". in this discourse, jean-jacques rousseau emphasizes that private property is the basis of all inequalities.

therefore, what enabled the old regime to maintain as long as it did was private property.
