Diagram for USCG Deck General: What is the name of the mark indicated by the letter E in illustration D003DG...
A Fresh water line
B Winter water line
C Tropical water line
D Summer water line
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Summer water line. The illustration D003DG shows the various load lines or "Plimsoll marks" that indicate the maximum safe draft for a vessel. The mark indicated by the letter E represents the Summer water line, which is the maximum draft allowed for a vessel to be loaded during the summer season. The other options are incorrect because the Fresh water line (A) is not indicated in this particular illustration, and the Winter water line (B) and Tropical water line (C) represent different seasonal load limits, not the Summer water line.
