Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

Ward Cunningham is a renowned computer programmer recognized for inventing the first 'wiki', a user-editable website [1]. On March 25, 1995, he launched the WikiWikiWeb on his company's domain, c2.com, to facilitate the exchange of ideas between software developers [1]. The term 'wiki' was inspired by the 'Wiki Wiki' shuttle bus at Honolulu International Airport, as 'wiki' means 'quick' in Hawaiian. Cunningham's original software, initially called WikiBase, allowed users to quickly edit and link pages using CamelCase syntax [1]. While he did not create Wikipedia itself, his pioneering work on the WikiWikiWeb provided the collaborative framework and conceptual foundation that later inspired the creation of the free encyclopedia. Other options are incorrect as James Gosling developed Java, and Cunningham's primary contributions lie in collaborative software and agile programming rather than digital camera hardware or Hebrew input software.
