<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

A) The transatlantic cable was not functional at that time.

<em><u>Explanation:</u></em>

Lincoln was shot at the night theater execution on 14 April, 1865, however Europe needed to sit tight for the Reuter release in early in the day of 26 April to find out about it.

The reason for this delay is that the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company of Britain  laid the cable in 1866, after various unsuccessful attempts.
