The correct answer is C), The play The Tempest, by Shakespeare begins entitling Act I, Scene I: "On a Ship at Sea: A tempestuous noise".
The dialogues of each and every character in the play, written in early modern English, but still not quite easy to understand, refer to the situation they are passing through, and on the first few lines Gonzalo, one of the characters says: "Mercy on us...", "Farewell, my wife and children...", "Farewell, brother..." "We split, we split...".
So, there is no doubt that they are going through a shipwreck.
