Solution

The correct option is D Leeuwenhoek
Most of the "animalcules" are now referred to as unicellular organisms, although Leeuwenhoek observed multicellular organisms in pond water. He was also the first to document microscopic observations of muscle fibers, bacteria, spermatozoa, red blood cells, crystals in gouty tophi, and blood flow in capillaries.
