The correct answer is letter D.

Andreas Vesalius was a physician, author of a lot of influential books on human anatomy. He published the book called "De humani corporis fabrica" that contained incredibly detailed drawings of human anatomy and lots of explanations about the whole human system.

It was "Andreas Vesalius" who was the sixteenth-century physician who published the first accurate and detailed picture of human anatomy, since he was one of the most advanced and knowledgable surgeons of his time.
