Explanation:

The claim is about Morse - code use in emergencies. Option D shows a real - life emergency situation (Titanic distress) where Morse - code distress signals (Phillips's distress signals) were used and led to action (Cottam relayed the message and the Carpathia turned northward). Options A and B provide general information about Morse - code, and option C is about radio channel issues on the Titanic not directly related to Morse - code's importance in emergencies.

Answer:

D. "After hearing Phillips's distress signals, Cottam relayed the message to his captain, who immediately turned the Carpathia northward."
