Final answer:

The set of innovations that best completes the chart for the Second Industrial Revolution, focusing on petroleum-based fuel, is 'Steel, telephone, electricity,' as these were significant technological advancements during that period.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has asked which set of innovations completes the chart that lists developments of the First and Second Industrial Revolution. In the context of the Second Industrial Revolution from 1865 to 1910, with a focus on petroleum-based fuel, the best set of innovations to complete the chart would be steel, telephone, and electricity.

Steel production, due to processes like the Bessemer process, became more efficient and spurred the construction of railroads and skyscrapers. The telephone, invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876, revolutionized communication, just as the electricity distribution systems developed in the late 19th century changed how factories worked and how people lived their lives. Thus, option D 'Steel, telephone, electricity' best completes the chart for the Second Industrial Revolution's innovations.
