Options
A Second Generation
B Third Generation

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

In the provided comparison table, the first generation is assigned a relative speed of 1. The second generation's relative speed is 100, the third's is 10,000, and the fourth/fifth generations are in the millions and billions, showing exponential growth from the first generation baseline.
