D Correct answer
Explanation

The first public buses were horse-drawn carriages designed to carry exactly eight passengers at a time. This capacity was chosen to balance efficiency with the limitations of horse-drawn transport in narrow city streets. Steam and pneumatic technologies did not exist for transportation during the 17th century.
