B inventors who survived wars best understood the needs of amputeesinventors who survived wars best understood the needs of amputees
C all who couldn’t wait for others to help solved their own problemsall who couldn’t wait for others to help solved their own problems
D surgeons had learned from inventors who had no medical experience
When the American Civil War led to a dramatic increase in the number of amputees, the demand of prosthetic devices also increased tremendously. A confederate soldier named James Hanger was the first recorded amputee in the war. After a war wound, a surgeon cut his left leg seven inches below the hip. Hanger invented the Hanger Limb, which is a prosthetic leg made from barrel staves and metal and featuring hinged joints at the knee and ankle. The Hanger Limb became the most advanced prosthetic limb of the time. James Hanger patented his invention and founded Hanger Inc., a company which became the leader in the production of prosthetic devices.
Inventor Ysidro M. Martinez made the next big improvement in prosthesis in the 1970s. His lower-limb prosthesis focused on improving gait and reducing friction. Martinez was an amputee, and his invention relieved pressure while making walking more comfortable.

Based on the information in paragraphs 6 and 8, the most appropriate conclusion is:
A) inventors who could relate to the needs of amputees improved prosthesis.
This is because both James Hanger and Ysidro M. Martinez were amputees themselves, which suggests that their personal experiences influenced their innovations in prosthetic devices.
