A Correct answer
Explanation

Johann Vaaler, a Norwegian inventor, patented the paper clip design in 1899 (and in the US in 1901). His design is similar to the common paper clip we use today. While there were earlier clip-like devices, Vaaler is most famously associated with the modern paper clip. Earle Dickson invented Band-Aids, not paper clips.
