AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) prevent chain from clinging to the wildcat.
A chain stripper is a device used on a boat's anchor chain to prevent the chain from clinging to the wildcat (the rotating barrel or drum that the chain wraps around when it is being hauled in or let out). This helps to ensure the chain feeds smoothly and evenly onto the wildcat without getting tangled or binding up. The other answer choices do not accurately describe the primary purpose of a chain stripper on a boat.
