Question 3997 Deck General

The correct answer is A) red. The last shot of an anchor cable is usually painted red to indicate the end of the anchor cable. This is a standard practice in the maritime industry, based on U.S. Coast Guard regulations, to help identify the end of the anchor cable and ensure the safe deployment and retrieval of the anchor. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the standard practice for marking the last shot of an anchor cable. White, international orange, and yellow are not the typical colors used for this purpose.
