AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) pelican hook. A pelican hook is commonly used to secure the pendant wire when it is initially passed to an anchor handling vessel. Pelican hooks are designed with a spring-loaded latch that allows the pendant wire to be quickly and securely attached, making them well-suited for this application. The other options (retaining hook, connecting link, and shackle) are not typically used for this specific purpose on anchor handling vessels.
