Question 353General Subjects - QMED

The correct answer is D) red. The reason for this is that according to U.S. Coast Guard regulations, the last shot (segment) of the anchor chain should be painted red. This is done to make the end of the anchor chain easily visible and identifiable, which is important for the safe operation and handling of the anchor system on a vessel. The other answer choices (white, orange, yellow) are incorrect because they do not align with the Coast Guard's standard for the color of the last shot of the anchor chain.
