Solution

The correct option is C Clowes
In 1953, during the course of analysing the organization and function of the root apices, Frederick Albert Lionel Clowes (born 10 September 1921), at the School of Botany (now Department of Plant Sciences), University of Oxford, proposed the term 'cytogenerative centre' to denote 'the region of an apical meristem.
So the correct answer is 'Clowes'.
