The correct answer is B. It significantly reduced the cost of producing steel, making the material more available for building machinery, railroads and skyscrapers.

The Bessemer process was named after its English inventor Henry Bessemer, who invented it in 1856. Its many advantages over the older processes of steel fabrication included:

- Faster fabrication: to convert five tons of iron into steel usually took a full day whereas it took 10 to 20 minutes.

- Better Steel quality: oxidation is used to remove impurities from the steel which in turn is much stronger.
