The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Objective**: The goal was to separate individual cells from the carrot root for further study. 2. **Research the Method Used**: Steward et al. needed a method that would effectively separate the cells without damaging them. 3. **Select the Appropriate Technique**: Among the options provided (shaking in liquid medium, homogenation, pressure receiving, and microsurgery), the method that was chosen by Steward et al. was shaking in a liquid medium. 4. **Implementation of the Technique**: The carrot root cells were placed in a liquid medium and subjected to continuous shaking. This process helped to dislodge the cells from each other while keeping them viable. 5. **Outcome**: The shaking in the liquid medium allowed the individual cells to remain separated and facilitated their growth. 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the answer to the question is that Steward et al. used shaking in a liquid medium to separate individual cells of carrot root. **Final Answer**: Option A - Shaking in liquid medium. ---
