A
Alexander Graham Bell
💡 Explanation:
When Alexander Graham Bell (inventor of the telephone) died on August 4, 1922, the entire US telephone system was shut down for one minute as a tribute. John F Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln were presidents whose deaths did not prompt this specific tribute. Nicolas is not a relevant historical figure in this context.
