- A. Robert Brown
- B. Camillo Golgi
- C. Christian de Duve
- D. Robert Hooke
Explanation
The Golgi complex, also referred to as the Golgi apparatus, was discovered by Camillo Golgi in 1898, and it bears his name. This is why he is the correct choice. Robert Brown's significant contribution was identifying the cell nucleus. Christian de Duve discovered lysosomes, an entirely different organelle. Robert Hooke was a pioneer in cell biology, known for introducing the term 'cell' but not for discovering the Golgi complex.
