AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Wire rope connections. The bow type anchor shackle is primarily used to connect the anchor chain to the wire rope or cable that runs from the anchor windlass to the anchor. This type of shackle is designed to withstand the high tension and wear associated with this type of connection.
