Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: Compose and send a brief message to your own Inmarsat-C terminal.
The most effective way to test the functionality of an Inmarsat-C terminal, including its ability to transmit and receive messages, is to send a test message to itself or a known contact. This verifies the communication path and system response without relying on external systems.
