The statement "New cells arise from pre-existing cells" is attributed to B. R. Virchow. Therefore, the correct answer is B. R. Virchow. Rudolf Virchow, a German physician and pathologist, is known for his contribution to the cell theory and the concept of omnis cellula e cellula, which means "every cell originates from another existing cell." This principle is a fundamental idea in cell biology.
