B Correct answer
Explanation

Karl Benz invented the first practical gasoline-powered automobile (the Benz Patent-Motorwagen) in 1885-1886. It was the first vehicle with an internal combustion engine designed from scratch as an automobile rather than being a carriage adapted with an engine. This revolutionized personal transportation and launched the automotive industry.
