Solution
The correct option is C Selectively permeable
In the year 1665, Robert Hooke observed cork cells under the microscope. Hooke saw cell walls in cork tissue and coined the term 'cells' for them, as the box-like compartments of cork reminded him of the cells of a monastery. Cell is a Latin word for ‘a little room’.
