Solution

The correct option is B 1855

In 1830, Charles Babbage designed a machine called the Analytical Engine which he showed at the Paris Exhibition. In 1855 year was it exhibition.

The Analytical Engine was a proposed mechanical general-purpose computer designed by English mathematician and computer pioneer Charles Babbage. It was first described in 1837 as the successor to Babbage's difference engine, a design for a mechanical computer.

Charles Babbage (1791-1871), computer pioneer, designed the first automatic computing engines. He invented computers but failed to build them. The first complete Babbage Engine was completed in London in 2002, 153 years after it was designed.

Analytical Engine, generally considered the first computer, designed and partly built by the English inventor Charles Babbage in the 19th century (he worked on it until his death in 1871). ... There is no evidence that anyone before Babbage had ever conceived of such a device, let alone attempted to build one.
