Question 3950 Deck General

The correct answer is D) the taper pin. The taper pin is the predominant piece that holds the detachable link together in an anchor chain consisting of shots of chain connected by detachable links. The taper pin is a tapered, metal pin that is inserted into the detachable link to secure the connection between the individual shots of chain. The other options are incorrect because they do not serve the primary function of securing the detachable links in an anchor chain. The led plug, closing cap, and C-link are not the main components responsible for holding the detachable links together.
