Hertwig's Kern plasm theory, which was developed to explain the occurrence of mitosis. Mitosis occurs as a result of a change in the Karyoplasmic Index, which is the ratio of nuclear material to cytoplasmic material in a cell. This disruption occurs when the volume of a cell exceeds a particular limit, resulting in insufficient control of the nucleus over the cytoplasm. The cell divides into two daughter cells by mitosis to recover control.

Option 1 is the correct answer.
