A
Thomas Sullivan
💡 Explanation:
Thomas Sullivan, a New York tea merchant, invented tea bags around 1908 when he started sending tea samples in silk pouches to customers. Customers mistakenly brewed the tea directly in the pouches, inadvertently creating the modern tea bag. Samuel Morse invented the telegraph, Richard Drew invented Scotch tape, and Nikola Tesla was an electrical engineer.
