The correct answer is (c) 1937-1941

Easiest explanation: Harry Ferguson patented the three-point linkage for agricultural tractors in Britain in 1926. He and his colleagues continued to developed several innovations to this device which made the system workable, effective, desirable. In 1938, after almost two decades of trying to sell Henry Ford on using Ferguson’s system on tractors mass-produced by Ford, Ferguson finally convinced Ford. The American mass market debut was via the Ford Ferguson 9N in 1939.
