I looked into that: he was born Karl Vaillant (mistakenly recorded as Weilland), because his parents weren't married at the time. When they eventually did get married, he took his father's last name, and became Karl Benz. Although he himself preferred to spell it "Carl Benz", there's no evidence he ever had it legally changed. So I really think both should be accepted, and either would make a good answer.

I'd be willing to wager that having the same name is a symmetric relation.
