Question 130 Deck General

The correct answer is B) at the chock. The reasoning behind this is that during a storm, the continuous motion of the vessel can cause significant stress and strain on the mooring lines. The chock, which is the fitting on the vessel where the line is secured, is typically the weakest point in the system and is most likely to fail under these conditions. The other options are less likely to be the point of failure - the line is unlikely to part at the vessel attachment point (option A), the eye of the line (option C), or randomly in the middle of the line (option D).
