What could be used as fairleads on a towed vessel?

A Double bitts
B Chocks
C Roller chocks
D All of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) All of the above. Double bitts, chocks, and roller chocks can all be used as fairleads on a towed vessel. Fairleads are fittings that guide and direct the towing line to prevent chafing and ensure the towing line runs smoothly during the towing operation. Double bitts, chocks, and roller chocks are common types of fairleads found on vessels that are designed to serve this purpose when towing another vessel. The other options are incorrect because they do not represent fairleads. A and B are not specifically designed as fairleads, while C (roller chocks) is a type of fairlead that is included in the correct answer of D.
