Explanation

Paul Allen co-founded Microsoft with Bill Gates in 1975, and the company went on to become the world's largest personal-computer software firm. Allen left active management in the early 1980s but remained one of its largest shareholders and a noted philanthropist and investor. He died on 15 October 2018 from complications of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He was not associated with the founding of Oracle, IBM or SAP. Hence option C is correct.
