A
Summer load line
B
Tropical load line
C
Winter load line
D
Fresh load line
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Tropical load line. The tropical load line is the mark indicated by the letter D in illustration D003DG. This is the load line that applies when a vessel is operating in tropical waters, as defined by the International Convention on Load Lines. The tropical load line allows for a deeper draft compared to the summer load line, as vessels can safely carry more cargo in warmer tropical conditions. The other options, such as the winter or fresh water load lines, do not apply to the marking shown in the illustration.
