A IV
B III
C II
D I
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) I. The position labeled "I" in the illustration is the most dangerous when tying up a vessel. This is because the person standing in that position is closest to the dock and has the highest risk of being caught between the vessel and the dock, which could result in serious injury. The other positions, labeled II, III, and IV, are further away from the dock and therefore have a lower risk of such an accident occurring.
