Solution

The correct option is B Micrographia
Living beings or organisms are made up of one or more cells. Cell is a basic unit of structure and function of organisms. It was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665 when he saw empty box-like compartments in a very thin slice of cork under his microscope. He wrote the book "Micrographia" and coined the term cellula which was later changed into the cell. Robert Hooke thought-cells to be passages for conducting fluids.
So, the correct answer is 'Micrographia'.
