Solution

The correct option is B Titanic
The Titanic was sailing in the region where the cold Labrador current and the warm Gulf stream meet in the Atlantic ocean. There is low visibility in the regions where warm and cold currents meet. So because of the low visibility the ship’s captains couldn’t see the iceberg in the region, which led to a collision between Titanic and a huge iceberg.
