B Correct answer
Explanation

Sir Charles Parsons invented the steam turbine in 1884, which was far more efficient than traditional steam engines. His design used steam to spin blades attached to a shaft, converting thermal energy directly into rotational motion. This invention revolutionized power generation and marine propulsion. Steam turbines still generate most of the world's electricity today in power plants.
