Solution
The correct option is B Darbys of Shropshire
The Darbys of Shropshire developed the solutions for the problems faced while refining iron ore. They replaced charcoal with coke to extract iron from iron-ore. Abraham Darby I invented a blast furnace that used coke instead of charcoal to generate higher temperatures. Darby II refined this process by developing a wrought-iron from the pig iron.
