Question 3904 Deck General

70% to pass

An example of a modern anchor which has a stock is a(n) _______________.

A articulated anchor
B Baldt anchor
C Flipper Delta anchor
D Danforth anchor
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Danforth anchor. The Danforth anchor is a modern anchor design that includes a stock, which is a crucial feature that distinguishes it from the other anchor types mentioned. The stock helps the anchor maintain a consistent orientation and bite into the seafloor, making it an effective and commonly used anchor for recreational and commercial vessels. The other options are not correct because they either lack a stock (articulated anchor, Baldt anchor) or have a different design (Flipper Delta anchor). The Danforth anchor's stock is a defining characteristic that makes it the correct answer in this case.
