How might society have been most likely impacted if Nikola Tesla, the inventor of AC technology, had not become a scientist?

Tesla helped develop alternating-current (AC) electrical systems, which made it practical to transmit electricity over long distances and supply homes. Without his scientific work, widespread electrical service in people’s homes might have developed later or differently. The other choices concern pesticides, disease, and plastics rather than Tesla’s contribution to electricity.
