Solution

The correct option is A Andreas Vesalius
Andreas Vesalius was a Belgian born anatomist and a physician. Vesalius published his most important work, 'De Humani Corporis Fabrica Libri Septem' (seven books on the fabric of human body), generally known as Fabrica. Fabrica is the most famous anatomy book ever written and also the first book on human anatomy to be reasonably accurate. He is thus known as the father of anatomy.

So, the correct answer is 'Andreas Vesalius'
