Solution

The correct option is C Thomas Cook
In the latter of the 19th century, Thomas Cook revolutionised the way the Tourism Industry functioned.
One of his earliest ventures was organising a rail trip from Leicester to Loughborough, for about 600 people. He also organised a grand tour of Europe, established a Travel Agency, and started selling various tourist tickets.
