Historians have been struggling for centuries to find the exact location where Santa Maria, the ship on which Christopher Columbus set sail from Spain in August 1492, looking for a westward route to Asia, capsized on its way back to Europe. A maritime archaeological investigator claims that a newly-discovered ship abandoned near the coast of South Haiti possesses artifacts that belonged to the Santa Maria, as noted in Columbus's extensive detailed diaries.
The force of the evidence cited above would be most strengthened if which of the following is true?
A. Ocean currents in the Atlantic are strong enough to shift an entire ship from one place to another.
B. The last few entries in Columbus's extensively detailed diaries noted a solar eclipse which astronomers confirmed was visible from Haiti in the year that Santa Maria drowned.
C. The port of South Haiti was known for its maritime importance during the fifteenth century.
D. Ships such as Santa Maria were custom built and possessed artifacts that were uniquely made for them.
E. Santa Maria had three smaller ships onboard it as does the newly-discovered ship abandoned near the coast of South Haiti

D support that there are no chances that the abandoned ship is not santa maria, because it has unique artifacts

While B is tempting, D is more accurate in my opinion.
