Solution

The correct option is A Aristotle
Aristotle was an ancient Greek philosopher and scientist who provided a complex and harmonious synthesis of the various existing philosophies prior to him. Aristotle stated in the History of Animals that all beings were arranged in a fixed scale of perfection, reflected in their form (eidos). They stretched from minerals to plants and animals, and on up to man, forming the scala naturae or great chain of being.
So, the correct answer is 'Aristotle.'
