AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) D-Type and bow shackles. The two main types of anchor shackles currently available are D-type shackles and bow shackles. D-type shackles have a D-shaped body and are commonly used for anchor rodes and mooring lines. Bow shackles have a rounded, oblong body and are also used for similar applications. These shackle types are recognized and specified in industry standards and regulations for maritime safety and equipment. The other answer choices do not accurately represent the common types of anchor shackles. U-type, posilok, C-type, and wedge shackles are less common or have different applications than those used specifically for anchoring and mooring.
