    B. An entrepreneur who transformed invention into an innovation.

    Explanation:

    In this scenario, the invention is the internet, which even if it had already been invented decades ago, was still in a development stage: by 1994, when Amazon was founded, less than 10% of Americans had access to the internet.

    An innovation can be defined as the creation of a new way to solve an existing market need. The market need was the demand for books, and the innovation consisted in using an invention, the internet, in a new way: establishing an online-delivery service, to meet the demand for books. Needless to say, the innovation was estremely succesful and now Jeff Bezos is a top of the wealthiest people alive.
