Explanation:

Sherman's March to the Sea during the American Civil War involved targeting not just enemy troops but also civilian infrastructure, resources, and morale, which is characteristic of total war. Option B is incorrect as it was mainly an army operation. Option C: the telegraph was used in the war but not a defining feature of this march. Option D: photographic images from war existed earlier and aren't tied to this march as its defining modern example.
