Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option B: Microscopes don't separate cells; they help visualize them. Eliminate B.
• Option C: The issue with seeing cells isn't distance but size. Eliminate C.
• Option D: Cells are microscopic, meaning they are too small to be seen with the naked eye, so a microscope (which magnifies) is needed. This is correct.
