C

AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Chain chasers will not work with piggyback anchors. The primary disadvantage of a permanent chain chaser system is that it is not compatible with the use of piggyback anchors. Piggyback anchors are a common configuration where a secondary anchor is attached to the primary anchor. This provides increased holding power, but a permanent chain chaser system cannot handle the additional weight and complexity of the piggyback anchor setup. The other answer choices are not the primary disadvantage of this system.
