Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The term “Social Medicine” was first introduced by Jules Guerin in the year 1848.
Jules Guerin was a French physician, not from Berlin — hence Statement (B) is incorrect.
Alfred Grotjahn was a German physician who contributed greatly to Social Medicine later but did not coin the term — so Statement (C) is incorrect.
Statement (D) is also incorrect because Grotjahn was from Germany, not France.
Statement (E) is correct as the term was indeed introduced in 1848.
Therefore, the correct statements are (A) and (E) only.
