    D. He conceptualized the working of a wiki in 1994.

    Explanation:

    On March 25, 1995, American programmer Ward Cunningham launched the first collaborative web page. From an innovative system, which allowed the editing of content by different users, was born the concept of wiki, which would spread throughout the network and later give rise to Wikipedia.

    The software that enabled the innovation was called WikiWikiWeb. It is the junction of the Hawaiian term wiki, that is fast, with the word web. The collaboration has increased interaction between internet users. From the project, other important initiatives emerged using the concept "wiki", such as Wikipedia, the largest online encyclopedia of the network.
