Solution

The correct option is B William Harvey
William Harvey was the first person to describe the circulation of blood in the body. He showed that arteries and veins form a complete circuit. The circuit starts at the heart and leads back to the heart. The heart's regular contractions drive the flow of blood throughout the whole body.
