The American Petroleum Institute recommends magnetic particle inspection for _______________.

A wire rope
B pendant wires
C connecting links
D anchor chain
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) connecting links. The American Petroleum Institute (API) recommends magnetic particle inspection for connecting links because this non-destructive testing method can effectively detect internal and surface defects in these critical components. Connecting links are used to join sections of anchor chain, and any flaws or cracks in these links could lead to catastrophic failure, making magnetic particle inspection an important safety precaution. The other options - wire rope, pendant wires, and anchor chain - while also important components, are not specifically called out by the API for magnetic particle inspection in the same way that connecting links are. This makes C) the correct answer based on the API's recommended practices.
