Answer:C) Defeated the two most successful human Jeopardy! champions in a three-game match.

Explanation: Watson emerged from the IBM supercomputer made by Thomas Watson. It is made from the two main component analytical software and the artificial intelligence which made it a optimal for the question-answer feature.

Watson defeated Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter (earlier successful contestants) in the program named Jeopardy by answering questions correctly and quickly in 2011.
