AYellow
BRed
CBlue
DWhite
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Red. The color red is used to indicate the last shot (segment) of anchor chain. This is a standard practice in the maritime industry, as specified in various regulations and guidelines for proper anchoring procedures. The red marking helps the crew easily identify the last section of the anchor chain, which is an important safety feature during anchoring operations. The other answer choices are incorrect because yellow, blue, and white are not the standard colors used for this purpose. The color red is specifically designated to mark the final shot of anchor chain to ensure clear visual identification and safe anchoring practices.
