The length of chain between the anchor and the end of the pendant line is called the _______________.

A wear chain
B thrash chain
C crown chain
D pigtail chain
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) crown chain. The length of chain between the anchor and the end of the pendant line is called the crown chain. This term is commonly used in the context of anchor equipment and configuration on ships, including vessels that are required to have a Coast Guard Captain's License. The other answer choices do not accurately describe this specific component of an anchor setup. "Wear chain" and "thrash chain" are not standard industry terms, while "pigtail chain" typically refers to a short piece of chain used to connect the anchor to the anchor rode, rather than the longer chain between the anchor and pendant line.
