Giovanna Farrell · Answer 1

B.

Explanation:

One of the biggest examples of engineers' contribution to society is they link different communities together through transport infrastructure.

The seven-mile bridge was an engineering wonder. Seven Mile Bridge connects two cities of the Florida Keys that include Knight's Key and Little Duck Key and promotes the transportation of goods or several other services which was not possible at that time (1900s).

It is the longest bridge in the world and is constructed by using the "segmental" technique and engineers were acknowledged for their work.

Hence, the correct option is B.
