　　C

　　For centuries, ships became isolated as soon as they were out of sight of shores and of other ships.This meant that if a ship met with any problems while at sea, they would sink without anyone knowing their fate.This isolation ended up with the invention of the wireless telegraph and Morse code.

　　By 1904, many transatlantic ships had wireless telegraph on board.Realizing a need for a widely recognized distress call, the letters “CQD” became the first distress call.But at that time different countries used different distress calls.

　　At the Radio and Telegraphic Conference held in Berlin in 1906, it was noted that there needed to be an internationally agreed upon and recognized signal for distress.No longer should Great Britain use “CQD” while Germany used “SOE”．After much discussion, the letters “SOS” were agreed upon.Although many have later stated that the letters stand for “Save Our Ship”， “Save Our Souls” or “Sink Or Swim”， it is not what the statements mean.
