Nautical charts published by the Canadian Hydrographic service which are referenced in the United States Coast Pilot are identified by _______________.

AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) an asterisk preceding the chart number. Nautical charts published by the Canadian Hydrographic Service that are referenced in the United States Coast Pilot are identified by an asterisk preceding the chart number. This convention is used to clearly indicate that the chart is from the Canadian Hydrographic Service, rather than a chart published by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the standard method used to identify Canadian charts in the US Coast Pilot. Options A, B, and D do not match the actual convention used for these chart references.
