Answer

Brief Explanations:

We need to find the option that emphasizes the similarity between Beard's and Jones's inventions.

  • Option A only talks about Jones's invention.
  • Option B only talks about Beard's invention.
  • Option D emphasizes the differences (safer connecting train cars vs. carrying perishables farther).
  • Option C states that both inventions "improved on existing designs", which is a similarity as per the notes (Beard's improved train - car couplers, Jones's improved food transport trucks).

Answer:

C. Beard’s automatic coupler and Jones’s mobile refrigeration system both improved on existing designs.
