Solution

The correct option is D Grew
The term tissue stems originally from a misinterpretation. N. Grew coined it in 1682 since he thought that the scaffolding of the cell wall would consist of very fine threads and that the organization of the plant would resemble the layering of a larger number of Brussels lace on top of one another.
So, the correct answer is 'Grew.'
