AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 1 3/4". According to the regulations governing the US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations, line or rope with a circumference of less than 1 3/4 inches is considered "small stuff." This is the standard definition used in the maritime industry to differentiate between larger, heavier lines and smaller, more lightweight lines. The other answer choices, such as 1/2", 1", and 3/4", do not align with the accepted industry standard for defining "small stuff."
