B Correct answer
Explanation

Diner's Club was indeed founded in 1950 and introduced an early charge card, but the claim that it was 'the first credit card' is problematic. Earlier charge/credit systems existed, including Western Union's 'metal money' in the 1920s and various merchant-specific credit programs. However, Diner's Club is often credited as the first multi-merchant charge card that worked across multiple establishments.
