70% to pass

The length of chain between the anchor and the end of the pendant line is called the _______________.

A pigtail chain
B wear chain
C thrash chain
D crown chain
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) crown chain. The length of chain between the anchor and the end of the pendant line is called the crown chain. This term is used in the context of anchor systems and is a standard part of the terminology used in the maritime industry, including for US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations. The other options (pigtail chain, wear chain, and thrash chain) are not standard terms used to refer to this specific component of an anchor system and are therefore incorrect answers.
