A	1912
B	1910
C	1914
D	1916

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The RMS Titanic, a luxury steamship, sank in the early hours of April 15, 1912, off the coast of Newfoundland in the North Atlantic after sideswiping an iceberg during its maiden voyage. Of the 2, 240 passengers and crew on board, more than 1, 500 lost their lives in the disaster.

Detailed explanation-2: -Two government investigations conducted immediately after the disaster agreed it was the iceberg, not any weakness in the ship itself, that caused the Titanic to sink. Both inquiries concluded the vessel had gone to the bottom intact.

Detailed explanation-3: -On April 15, 1912, the RMS Titanic sunk in the North Atlantic Ocean.

Detailed explanation-4: -Why did the Titanic sink? The immediate cause of RMS Titanic’s demise was a collision with an iceberg that caused the ocean liner to sink on April 14–15, 1912. While the ship could reportedly stay afloat if as many as 4 of its 16 compartments were breached, the impact had affected at least 5 compartments.
