Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Robert Hooke, an English scientist, is credited with the discovery of cells in 1665. He observed a thin slice of dead cork tissue from an oak tree under a primitive compound microscope. He saw a honeycomb-like structure of small compartments, which he called 'cells' (from the Latin 'cella', meaning small room). He was actually observing the non-living cell walls of dead plant cells.
