TPO-6 Powering the industrial revolution - 英檢

我的問題是第7題
paragraph 3:

Watt's steam engine soon showed what it could do.
It liberated industry from dependence on running water.
The engine eliminated water in the mines by driving efficient pumps,
which made possible deeper and deeper mining.
They ready availability of coal inspired William Murdoch during the 1790s
to develop the first new form of nighttime illumination to be discovered
in a millennium and a half.
Coal gas rivaled smoky oil lamps and flickering candles,
and early in the new century,
well-to-do Londoners grew accustomed to gaslit houses and even streets.
Iron manufacturers which had starved for fuel while depending on charcoal
also benefited from ever-increasing supplies to coal;
blast furnaces with steam-powered bellows turned out more iron and steel
for the new machinery.
Steam became the motive force of the Industrial Revolution
as coal and iron ore were the raw materials.

QUESTION 7:
In paragraph 3 the author mentions William Murdoch's invention of a new form of
nighttime illumination in order to
A. indicate one of the important devlopments made possible by the introduction

B. make the point that Watt's steam engine was not the only invention of
importance to the Industrial Revolution
C. illustrate how important coal was as a raw material for the

B選項哪裡錯了？
不是說William也發明了new form的nighttime illuminate嗎？
