Who among the following is considered as the inventor of the World Wide Web (WWW)?
Explanation
The World Wide Web was invented by British scientist Tim Berners‑Lee while working at CERN in 1989. CERN’s official history explicitly credits Berners‑Lee with conceiving the Web to enable automated information‑sharing among scientists and notes his implementation of core technologies (HTML, HTTP, URLs) plus the first Web server and browser. Berners‑Lee’s original March 1989 proposal, “Information Management: A Proposal,” and its later refinements formally described the system that became the Web; these documents are preserved in Web and CERN archives and by standards bodies [1]. Therefore option 3 (Time/Tim Berners‑Lee) is the correct answer.
