Solution
The correct option is B Cork
The first cell was observed and named by Robert Hooke in 1665. He described that it looked like cellula, small rooms which are inhabited by monks hence derived the name 'cell'. The cell he actually saw was the dead cell walls of the plant (cork) under a microscope. Hooke described the characteristics of a cell he observed in his book 'Micrographia'. So, the correct answer is 'Cork'
