Which detail from “The Telephone: A Truer Tale” best supports the argument that Bell did not invent the first telephone?

The question asks for a detail showing that Bell did not invent the first telephone. Choice A says the first words spoken over a wire were spoken when Bell was only two years old, so he could not have been the person who spoke them. That directly supports the argument that someone else used an earlier telephone before Bell. The other choices describe Bell’s skills, dreams, or financial support, not evidence of an earlier telephone.
