Solution

The correct option is B
Robert Hooke

Robert Hooke coined the term "Cell” which means small compartment, in Latin. He named it so, because the boxlike cells of a cork slice which he observed under a microscope, reminded him of the rooms, or cells of monks in a monastery and so he said that the cork was made up of cells.
