D
prevent chain from clinging to the wildcat
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) prevent chain from clinging to the wildcat. A chain stripper is a device used to prevent chain from clinging to the wildcat (the rotating drum that the anchor chain winds around) when the anchor is being retrieved. This helps ensure the chain winds smoothly and evenly onto the wildcat, preventing tangles or jams. The other answer choices do not accurately describe the primary purpose of a chain stripper on a boat.
