The invention that was made during the Han dynasty is **d. paper**. The Han dynasty existed from 206 BCE to 220 CE, and it was during this period that paper was invented, improving the means of recording and transmitting information.

Porcelain, bronze, and silk were developed earlier, with silk production dating back to at least 2700 BCE, while bronze artifacts date back to the Shang dynasty (c. 1600–1046 BCE). Porcelain was developed later in the Tang dynasty (618–907 CE).
