Correct Answer: Option B — INMARSAT
Inmarsat provides worldwide global coverage (excluding extreme polar regions) through geostationary satellites. Unlike terrestrial MF, HF, or VHF systems limited by propagation anomalies, horizon limits, or power outputs, Inmarsat guarantees intercontinental communications range regardless of ship location.
