This is false. Let $U=\mathbb N$$U=\mathbb N\times\mathbb N$ and let $S$ consist of all 2-element sets of the form $\{2n,2n+1\}$columns. Let $c$ be ana product ultrafilter extending the Frechét filter (so all finite sets are $\not\in c$), i. The statement $\exists D\in S\,\exists C\in c (C\subseteq D)$e. a set is false, because the elementslarge if most of $S$its intersections with columns are finitelarge.
