The correct answer is letter C

The invasion force would have approximately 67,000 men, including landing troops and parachutists. The command of operations was the responsibility of Admiral Erich Raeder, commander of Kriegsmarine. Training started in the second half of 1940 at the port of Boulogne. The starting date for the launch of Seeöwer was September of that year. In the initial planning, the targets would be the region between Dorset and Kent. Thanks to Lutfwaffe's inability to achieve air superiority, Operation had its first postponement to October and later to the summer of 1941, when the focus of the war shifted to Operation Barbarossa.

Operation Sealion never got off the ground. If it had become a reality, the Second World War would surely be prolonged or even have its result altered. What we know today is that there was a List, which would accompany the SS occupation troops, with the names of personalities who were to be arrested and killed in the event of a full occupation by the Germans. This list, known in the post-war era and dubbed the Black Book, contained names of people like Churchill, Chamberlain, Bernard Shaw, Noël Pierce Coward, among others.
