70% to passAn example of a modern anchor which has a stock is a(n) _______________.
A
articulated anchor
B
Baldt anchor
C
Flipper Delta anchor
D
Danforth anchor
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Danforth anchor. The Danforth anchor is a modern anchor design that includes a stock, which is a crucial feature that distinguishes it from the other anchor types mentioned. The stock helps the anchor maintain a consistent orientation and bite into the seafloor, making it an effective and commonly used anchor for recreational and commercial vessels. The other options are not correct because they either lack a stock (articulated anchor, Baldt anchor) or have a different design (Flipper Delta anchor). The Danforth anchor's stock is a defining characteristic that makes it the correct answer in this case.
