A: Bill Gates
B: Tim Berners-Lee
C: Edward Kanser
D: Tim Kook

The answer is: B

Explanation

The inventor of the World Wide Web (WWW) is Tim Berners-Lee.

Tim Berners-Lee is a British computer scientist who developed the idea of the World Wide Web in 1989 while working at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) in Switzerland. He proposed a system for sharing information over the internet using a web of hypertext documents that could be accessed through hyperlinks.

Berners-Lee went on to develop the first web browser and web server software, as well as the first website, which went live on the internet in 1991. He also played a key role in developing web standards such as HTML and HTTP, which helped to establish the World Wide Web as a global phenomenon.

Bill Gates is a co-founder of Microsoft and played a significant role in the development of personal computing software, but he did not invent the World Wide Web. Edward Kanser and Tim Kook are not known as inventors of the World Wide Web or any major technology invention.
