Question 2396 Deck General

The correct answer is A) chock. A chock is a device used to redirect the lead of a tow bridle on a vessel. The tow bridle is the line or cable that connects the towing vessel to the vessel being towed. Chocks are specially designed fittings that guide and support the tow bridle line, preventing it from rubbing against the hull or other structures on the towing vessel. The other answer choices are incorrect because a devil's claw is used to secure a tow line, a pad eye is a reinforced fitting used to attach a line, and a bollard is a sturdy post used to secure mooring lines, not specifically for redirecting a tow bridle.
