1 answer

The answer is c. by using fewer wires. Samuel F.B. Morse created a code, called Morse code, which allowed messages to be transmitted using a series of dots and dashes instead of lengthy written or spoken texts. This required fewer wires and allowed messages to be sent and received more quickly and efficiently.
