Solution

The correct option is D William Harvey
Biologists William Harvey use math as they plot graphs to help them understand equations, run small “trial and error” tests with some sample numbers when developing algorithms, and use the R project for analyzing protein sequences and structures. Biologists also use software with a lot of underlying mathematics. So, the correct option is "B" (William Harvey)
