Excerpt from the Riegner Telegraph
Have received through foreign office following message from Riegner Geneva Stop.
Received alarming report stating that in the Fuehrer's Headquarters, a plan has been discussed and is under consideration according to which all Jews in countries occupied or controlled by Germany numbering 3½ to 4 millions should, after deportation and concentration in the East, be at one blow exterminated, in order to resolve, once and for all the Jewish question in Europe.
Use the Riegner Telegram to answer the question.

A.
It was based on reports that were difficult to confirm until relatively late in the war.
B.

C.
It was widely believed to be a hoax until the production of eyewitnesses.
D.
Those in Western Europe had heard of the atrocities but refused to believe in them.
