Answer
Correct option: B.
Thales.
Pythagoras of Samos is one of the most famous names in the history of mathematics and is recognized as the first true mathematician. When Pythagoras was $18$, he visited Miletus - an ancient Greek city on the western coast of Anatolia, where he met Thales - the first known Greek philosopher and scientist. By that time Thales was very old and is not believed to have taught Pythagoras a great deal. However, it was this meeting which triggered his interest in the science of mathematics and astronomy.
