B Correct answer
Explanation

Tim O'Reilly, founder of O'Reilly Media, is credited with coining the term 'Web 2.0' in 2004 during a conference brainstorming session. The term described the shift from static web pages to dynamic, user-generated content and social applications. O'Reilly Media subsequently hosted the Web 2.0 Summit conferences that popularized the concept. Kevin Rose (Digg), Robert Scoble (Microsoft blogger), and Michael Arrington (TechCrunch) were Web 2.0 figures but didn't coin the term.
