Question 827Navigation General

The correct answer is D) cat's paw. A cat's paw is a very light breeze that creates small, localized ripples on the surface of still water. This is a well-known nautical term that refers to this specific weather condition, which is often seen as a precursor to the development of larger wind patterns. The other answer choices are not associated with this type of light, localized wind. "Hog's breath" and "williwaw" do not describe this weather phenomenon, while "chinook" refers to a specific type of warm, downslope wind, which is different from the light breeze described in the question.
