AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) hawsepipe. The hawsepipe is the opening in the deck that allows the anchor cable or chain to pass from the vessel's anchor windlass or winch to the outside of the hull. This opening is specifically designed and reinforced to accommodate the repeated passage of the anchor cable. The other answer choices do not accurately describe this specific deck fitting.
