b. information about how listeners can help katrina victims find their family members

Explanation:

A telling detail is a specific, vivid element that conveys deeper meaning or emotion. Option C, the emotion in Ms. Graps' voice as she talks about searching for her son, is a personal and emotional detail that shows the human impact of the situation. Options A and B are more informational (about identification processes and how listeners can help), and option D is a general description of the hurricane. The emotional detail in C is more likely to be a "telling" (i.e., revealing, impactful) detail.

Answer:

C. The emotion in Ms. Graps's voice as she talks about her search for her son
