Answer

B
(1) Henry Fox Talbot; (2) tonal inversion of a positive image, where light appears dark, and dark appears light.

D
(1) Louis Daguerre; (2) tonal inversion of a positive image, where light appears dark, and dark appears light.

Explanation

Henry Fox Talbot developed the negative-positive photographic process, allowing a negative image to be used to make positive prints. A negative is a tonal inversion: areas that are light in the scene appear dark, and dark areas appear light. The description of a white-on-blue print refers to a cyanotype, not a negative image.
