Answer: B

Correct answer: 1906

Lee De Forest invented the triode vacuum tube, the Audion, in 1906, adding a control grid to Fleming’s two-element valve of 1904. The grid let a small signal control a large current - amplification, and with it electronic switching, which is what the first generation of computers was built from.
