The Year 1917 was very important for the Wright Brothers as it was the year when their Patent was going to expire.
The Wright brothers are widely regarded as the pioneers of winged and controlled flight. Since their test flight in 1903 at Kitty Hawk, the Brothers not only became famous for their invention but also notorious for their absurd patent war tactics.
After their invention many local as well as international engineers had developed workable concepts of an airplane. Many of which were actually more advanced and safer than their version.
They knew their patent would expire in 1917 and before that, they launched massive patent wars all over the world to protect their invention and more importantly collect fees.

<h2>C. The Scientific Revolution</h2>
Explanation:
The "modern era" in history was introduced by the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment, so from around 1500 to early 1800s. The "early modern era" would be the beginning of the modern era, with thinkers like Francis Bacon and Rene Descartes sending intellectual history in a new direction. The modern era was a movement forward to scientific thinking and searching for reasonable explanations and solutions, in contrast to the medieval era's adherence to traditions, superstitions and religious beliefs.
The invention of gunpowder happened in China already around AD 850, long before the start of the modern era.
The exploration of outer space and the creation of the Internet occurred in the 20th century, about 500 years after the modern era had begun.
