AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) hydraulic deck stopper. A hydraulic deck stopper is the safest device to secure the end of the pendant wire when it is initially passed to the anchor handling vessel. This is because a hydraulic deck stopper provides a secure and controlled attachment point that can withstand the significant forces involved in anchor handling operations. The other options, such as a pelican hook, connecting link, or shackle, may not be as reliable or suitable for this specific application.
