Verified Answer :

The correct answer would be D.

Herophilus discovered that the
center of the nervous system is the brain. Believed to be the first anatomist, he
was the first person to dissect humans in order to conduct studies on how the
human bodily functions work. He also made books that published his works on how
the blood flows from the heart. He corrected the belief that intellect comes
from the heart, and he was the first person to give importance to the
cerebellum and cerebrum portions of the brain.
