C Correct answer
Explanation

Earle Dickson invented the Band-Aid in 1920 while working at Johnson & Johnson. He created it for his wife Josephine, who frequently cut herself while cooking and couldn't easily apply bandages to her own wounds. The invention combined sterile gauze with adhesive tape, creating a convenient self-sticking wound covering. Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, not medical products.
