Correct option is (a) Fourinder machine

To explain I would say: The first paper making machine was Fourdrinier machine of 1804, named after its financiers Henry and Sealy Fourdrinier, two prosperous London stationers who purchased the patent interests of the Frenchman Didot Frères. In this, paper is made by depositing a very dilute suspension of fibers from a very low consistency aqueous suspension (greater than 99% water) on to a relatively fine woven screen, over 95% of the water being removed by drainage through the wire. The fibers interlace in a generally random manner as they are deposited on the wire and become part of the filter medium.
