Solution
The correct option is B Thomas Savery
Thomas Savery was an English inventor and engineer, born at Shilstone, a manor house near Modbury, Devon, England.

Savery's "engine" was a revolutionary method of pumping water, which solved the problem of mine drainage and made widespread public water supply practical.
