C Correct answer
Explanation

The Fraunhofer Gesellschaft (Fraunhofer Institute) in Germany developed the MP3 format in the late 1980s and early 1990s, specifically researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits. Apple and Microsoft were not involved in MP3's initial development, and Napster was a file-sharing service that came later, not a technology developer.
