Swan liked to experiment, while Edison did not.
B
Swan was very inventive, while Edison was not.
C
Swan invented a working lightbulb, while Edison did not.
D
Swan received a formal education, while Edison did not.

Explanation

Joseph Swan received a formal education, while Thomas Edison had very little formal schooling and largely educated himself. That difference makes D correct. The other choices are inaccurate: both men experimented and were inventive, and Swan and Edison each developed working electric lightbulbs.
