The correct answer is: A. Don Knuth

Literate statistical practice is a methodology for conducting statistical analysis that emphasizes the importance of communication and clarity. It was originally developed by Don Knuth, a computer scientist and mathematician, in his book The Art of Computer Programming.

Knuth argued that statistical analysis should be conducted in a way that is easy for others to understand, both by other statisticians and by non-statisticians. He proposed that statistical reports should be written in a literate style, using plain language and clear explanations of the methods and results.

Literate statistical practice has since been adopted by many statisticians and other researchers. It is now considered to be an essential part of good statistical practice.
