Question 4052 Deck General

The correct answer is B) Detachable. The type of link generally used to connect shots (sections) of anchor chain is the detachable link. Detachable links allow the anchor chain to be disassembled and reassembled easily, which is important for maintenance, storage, and deployment of the anchor system. The detachable design enables the chain to be divided into more manageable sections. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) Open links are not typically used to connect anchor chain shots, as they do not provide a secure connection; C) Pear-shaped links are a specialized type not commonly used for general anchor chain connections; and D) Stud links, while a common anchor chain design, do not have the detachable feature required for the specific purpose described in the question.
