    Correct Answer

    J. P. Morgan is the correct answer because in 1901, J. P. Morgan, a prominent American financier and banker, bought Carnegie Steel from Andrew Carnegie. This acquisition formed the basis for the creation of U.S. Steel, which became the first billion-dollar corporation in the world. John D. Rockefeller, although a notable figure in the oil industry, was not involved in the purchase of Carnegie Steel. Great Britain and USA are not relevant to the question as they did not buy Carnegie Steel in 1901.
