Answer:

A) The Russian admiralty decided that their British allies could make better use of the codebook than they could, so it was sent to London.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Russian admiralty dispatched the codebook to London since it would be more valuable there, according to these statements. We can only assume that the codebook was used more in London because the city had better people who could break codes, since that was the book's stated goal.
