Solution

The correct option is A 1665
Robert Hook discovered cells in 1665. When he observed thin slices of cork under a self-designed microscope, he noticed that there are many partitioned boxes or compartments like a honeycomb. Each box was separated from the other by a wall. Hook coined the term cell for each box.
