Which dictionary entry best supports the meaning of the word reconnaissance as used in the excerpt?

English

Fed [463]2 years ago

The definition of reconnaissance is to gather information through a preliminary examination of a region, usually for military purposes.

<h3>What is “NOAA Hurricane Hunters”?</h3>

A cluster of aircraft used for hurricane reconnaissance by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is referred to as “NOAA Hurricane Hunters”.

The missing excerpt is:

In addition to doing research to help scientists understand hurricanes and other kinds of tropical storms, NOAA's P-3s also do storm reconnaissance missions. The main purpose of these missions is to locate the center of the storm and measure central pressure and surface winds around the eye. Information from both research and reconnaissance flights directly contribute to the safety of people living along and visiting the vulnerable Atlantic and Gulf coasts.

In the above instance, reconnaissance is deployed in the context of the first meaning; to gather information for non-military purposes.

Thus, the definition of reconnaissance is to glean information through a preliminary examination of a region, usually for military purposes.

Kruka [31]
I believe the answer is (B) because (A) has an improper use of the colon, and in (C) they put the semi colon after "we" which doesnt make sense because  "We had a relaxing lunch we," is not a proper sentence.
