AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) deviation table. According to U.S. Coast Guard regulations, a fishing vessel is required to have a compass, and it must also have a deviation table. The deviation table is used to compensate for any magnetic interference that may affect the compass, ensuring accurate navigation. The other options are incorrect because: A) An electronic position-fixing device, such as a GPS, is not a mandatory requirement for a fishing vessel. B) A copy of the Sailing Directions is not a requirement for a fishing vessel. C) A radar reflector is not a requirement for a fishing vessel's mandatory equipment.
