A sailing chart could have a scale of _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 1:700,000.
According to the U.S. Coast Guard regulations, sailing charts used for Captain's License examinations must have a scale of not more than 1:700,000. This larger scale allows the chart to provide a broader, more comprehensive view of the navigational area, which is essential for coastal and offshore voyages.
The other options are incorrect because A) 1:25,000 is too large of a scale for a sailing chart, B) 1:35,000 is also too large, and C) 1:100,000 is smaller than the maximum scale allowed for Captain's License examinations.
