The correct options are
B Bamboo
C Cotton
D Platinum
T. A. Edison initially used platinum filament in his bulb and it had worked continuously for 8 minutes. Then he used cotton coated with soot as the filament which worked for a longer time of 45 minutes. Finally after some attempts, he used bamboo strip as the filament. Surprisingly, it worked for a number of days.
