B Correct answer
Explanation

Qualcomm invented and holds key patents for CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) technology, founded by Irwin Jacobs and others. CDMA became a dominant 2G/3G mobile standard in markets like the US and Korea. AT&T, British Telecom, and Ericsson are telecom companies but Ericsson developed GSM (not CDMA) as the competing standard.
