B

C

AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) buckler plates. Buckler plates are the metal plates that cover the top of the hawsepipe, which is the opening in the vessel's hull through which the anchor chain or cable passes. These plates are designed to prevent water from entering the vessel through the hawsepipe and are a crucial component of the vessel's watertight integrity. The other options are incorrect because: B) stop waters are not related to the hawsepipe, C) plugs are not the specific term for the metal plates covering the hawsepipe, and D) footings are not the correct term for this specific component.
