Final answer:
Martin Cooper is recognized for creating and introducing the first cellular phone while working for Motorola in the 1970s. Neither Bill Gates, Nokia, nor Neil Papworth were responsible for this invention. The correct answer is option 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The person that created and introduced the first cellular phone was Martin Cooper. Martin Cooper, while working for Motorola in the 1970s, led the team that developed the first handheld cellular phone. On April 3, 1973, Cooper made the first public call on a portable cell phone. Bill Gates is famous for founding Microsoft and is associated with computers, not cellular phones. While Nokia is a major player in the mobile phone industry, it did not create the first cell phone. Lastly, Neil Papworth sent the first text message in 1992, long after the invention of the cell phone.
