AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) on mooring lines. Chafing gear is used to protect mooring lines from wear and abrasion, particularly where the lines come into contact with fixed structures like piers, docks, or chocks. This helps prevent the lines from becoming damaged and weakened over time. The other answer choices, while relevant to vessel operations, do not specifically relate to the purpose of chafing gear, which is to protect mooring lines.
