Who first invented the electric light bulb?

  1. Matthew Evans and Henry Woodward

  2. Thomas Edison

  3. Joseph-Armand Bombardier

  4. Alexander Graham Bell

The correct answer is: Matthew Evans and Henry Woodward

Matthew Evans and Henry Woodward should not be chosen as the first inventors of the electric light bulb because while they did create an electric lamp, their design was not practical for everyday use. It could only light one room at a time and was not very bright. This is why Thomas Edison's design of the electric lightbulb is considered the first practical and commercially successful design. Joseph-Armand Bombardier and Alexander Graham Bell both made significant contributions to technology, but not specifically with the invention of the electric light bulb.
