The correct option is B

The first microscope was discovered by a Dutch scientist Anton van Leeuwenhoek. He made a microscope with the single lens. He was the first person to observe living cells (blood cells and microbes) under the microscope. Hence, he is considered as the 'Father of Microbiology'.
