A Correct answer
Explanation

Robert Hooke is correctly regarded as the father of cytology for his pioneering work with microscopes and his discovery of cells in 1665. He published 'Micrographia' and coined the term 'cell' after observing cork tissue. Da Vinci was an artist and inventor, not a cell biologist. Anton Van Leeuwenhoek was a pioneer in microscopy but came later and is known for observing microorganisms, not founding cytology.
