He spoke about why he gave so much money to his son, saying:"We as parents started to be interested more, thinking that he's on to something and this invention has to continue." Banerjee told the AP News: "My dream would probably be having most of the blind people...using my Braigo." Question: Why did Banerjee design his invention? Options: A: He did it as a hobby. B: Intel told him to do it. C: He did it for a school science project. D: He wanted to get money from his father.
