Solution

The correct option is D James Watt
In 1705 CE, Thomas Malcomus invented the steam engine. In 1774 CE, James Watt improved the steam engine. The principle behind the steam engine was to use steam as its working medium and to use it for doing manual work. In 1801 CE, Richard Trevethique attached a steam engine made by Watt to a rail coach and made it move on the road. William Simington added Watt’s engine to a boat and made it move in 1801 CE.
