AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) inspection of the connection between the wire and tail. The connection between the wire and fiber tail is a critical part of the mooring system and must be inspected regularly. Any signs of wear or damage at this connection point could lead to failure, which would be a serious safety hazard. The other options, while potentially relevant to overall mooring wire inspection, do not specifically address this crucial connection point.
