Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Orville and Wilbur Wright flew an airplane with a gasoline-powered engine at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in 1903.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Wright brothers, Wilbur and Orville, were two aviators, engineers, inventors and pioneers of aviation, generally named together, and recognized worldwide as those who invented, built and flew the world's first airplane.
