What is the format to send a Departure Message (DM) on N100WM at 2330?

Explanation:
Departure messages use a simple, unambiguous format: start with DM, then the aircraft identifier, then the time in four-digit 24-hour format, all separated by spaces. For a departure at 2330, the correct sequence is DM N100WM 2330, then press enter. The other options introduce extra prefixes or extra numbers that aren’t part of this DM format (for example, prefixes like D or P before the time, or an extra time piece), so they don’t match how a DM is typically sent.
