B Correct answer
Explanation

Kirkpatrick MacMillan, a Scottish blacksmith, invented the first bicycle with foot pedals in 1839. Earlier versions like Baron von Drais's 'running machine' (1817) had no pedals - you pushed with your feet on the ground. Thomas Edison invented the light bulb and phonograph, Henry Ford developed the assembly line for automobiles, and Gottlieb Daimler pioneered internal combustion engines.
