Answer 1

Answer:

The correct response is Option B.

Explanation:

Tesla’s most important contribution to the development of electricity and electrical supply systems is the use of alternating current (AC). Tesla began working for the Westinghouse Electric Company, and it was the first company to implement the alternating current technology by supplying electricity to light up the entire World Colombian Exposition in Chicago that was held in 1893. This system was an improvement over the direct current (DC) system that is credited to Thomas Edison, as the alternating current is a more efficient way to send electricity over a grid. The alternating current technology is now the basis for most of our electricity systems today.  Tesla was also involved in the development of fluorescent lighting.
