The correct answer is:

To take advantage of false information given to the Germans about an invasion elsewhere

Step-by-step explanation:

The Battle of Normandy (1944) , also known as D-Day was a turning point for the Allies in WWII, it began with a deception operation that gave false information to the Germans about an invasion in Pas-de-Calais, and other false potential targets including Norway. On June 1944, the Allies (Britain, United States, France and Canada) landed on five beaches of Normandy to free Western Europe from Germany's control.
