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.

answer: the answer is b

explanation: i just took this quiz last week

the vast majority of ballots have been counted nearly two weeks after one of the biggest political upsets in modern u.s. history catapulted donald trump to the presidency.

estimates show more than 58 percent of eligible voters went to the polls during the 2016 election, nearly breaking even with the turnout rate set during the last presidential election in 2012, even as the final tallies in states like california continue to be calculated, according to statistics collected by the u.s. elections project.

but among those figures were stark contrasts in key states that swing the election to trump — in ohio, wisconsin, iowa, michigan and elsewhere — indicating the president-elect’s leap from long-shot candidate to the most powerful political position in the world may have happened in part because of apathy toward hillary clinton’s candidacy, especially among the democratic base, several political scientists and organizations monitoring voter turnout told the pbs newshour.

while clinton is leading the popular vote by more than 1.5 million over trump as of sunday, she trails president obama’s 2012 totals by more than 2 million ballots — a chasm that may have cost her the election, said david becker, co-founder of the center for election and innovation and research.

“several million voters didn’t come out to vote,” becker said. “which is telling me that this idea of the trump wave, a huge number of voters shifting over to trump, is certainly not the story.”
