A common means of connecting shots of anchor chain in the field is to use a(an) _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) kenter link.
A kenter link is a type of chain coupling that is commonly used to connect shots (sections) of anchor chain in the field. It is the preferred method because kenter links are designed to easily connect and disconnect chain sections, allowing for efficient deployment and retrieval of the anchor. The other options are not the correct types of hardware used for this purpose.
End shackles, while useful for other chain applications, are not the primary means of connecting anchor chain sections. Sprockets and swivels serve different functions and are not the appropriate hardware for this task.
