Solution

The correct option is B Ernst Ruska
In the early 20th century a significant alternative to light microscopy was developed, using electrons rather than light to generate the image. Ernst Ruska started the development of the first electron microscope in 1931 which was the transmission electron microscope (TEM).
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
