Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct

People invent things to enhance their lives. Today, inventions are mostly
improvements of previous inventions. With technology, inventions are taking a shorter and shorter time to complete.
One such invention is the camera. The time taken to invent the camera in the sixteenth
century was prolonged due to the lack of technology and scientific knowledge. When
inventors first tried to take a photograph in 1558, the image could not stay on the paper
permanently. It was only in 1837 that inventors managed to produce pictures that did not fade away.
With the invention of the camera, further improvements were made and the first
underwater camera was invented in 1856. It was placed in a tightly sealed container.
However, when the contraption was underwater, the container broke before many
pictures were taken. It was only in the 1980s that a camera was made to be able to go
deep underwater without being damaged. Less than twenty years later, technology
allowed underwater cameras to take photographs in color and to go even deeper into the
water. The cameras even looked like a fish.
With better technology, an invention will never stay stagnant. People will be relentless
in their efforts at making improvements to an invention.
