key
[a]

even though "beep" goes back to the early part of the last century, "beeper" is a more recent addition to the world of words. our earliest evidence of "beeper" is from the early 1970s, which makes a the right answer. products that are based on new technologies often introduce new words to the language. the word "vcr," for example, (an acronym for "video cassette recorder") started being used right around the same time as "beeper." "laser printer" was also first used in the 1970s. "camcorder" and "cell phone" are even newer words. our earliest evidence of both "camcorder" and "cell phone" is from the early 1980s.
