Solution

The correct option is B orchid
Robert Brown observed near-circular spot which was slightly more opaque than the other places. He again observed the same structure in other cells as well. Brown coined the term areola to describe them at first. Although this spot was observed previously by other scientists, Robert understood the significance of this structure and finally named it nucleus.
