The correct option is D Robert Owen
The word was first coined early in the 19th century in regard to the doctrines advocated by the French utopian socialists Charles Fourier and Henri Saint-Simon and became common in England from about the time of Robert Owen – another great Utopian socialist, in the 1830s.
