Question 4031 Deck General

The correct answer is D) fluke angle. The fluke angle is the angle between the flukes (the curved parts) and the shank (the straight part) of an anchor. This angle is an important design feature that affects the anchor's holding power and ability to set properly in the seafloor. A larger fluke angle generally results in better holding power, as it allows the flukes to dig into the seabed more effectively. The other answer choices do not accurately describe this specific angle of the anchor.
