AI Explanation
A) on either side of the stern is the correct answer. The "quarter" of a vessel refers to the sides of the stern, or the aft portion of the ship. This is the area located on either side of the centerline at the rear of the vessel. The other options are incorrect because: B) just forward of the beam on either side refers to the midships area, not the stern. C) dead astern means directly behind the vessel, not the sides. D) abeam means perpendicular to the centerline of the vessel, not the stern.
