Choice A is incorrect because the author acknowledges that the Bermuda Triangle has sparked interest due to unexplained events. Choice B is incorrect as expanding the focus of the Triangle to the Azores is not associated with an increase in accidents, according to the author. Choice C is incorrect as the author does not suggest a deliberate concealment but rather points towards logical explanations for the events in the Bermuda Triangle.
