The correct option is B

Explanation:

People started looking through the microscopes for the first time, around 1620. During this time, an English politician who was known as Sir Francis Bacon, developed a certain method that philosophers used to weigh the truthfulness of knowledge.  

In order to test potential truths or hypotheses, Sir Francis rightly devised a method in which scientists could set up experiments  to manipulate nature to a large extent and attempt to prove their hypothesis wrong.
