70% to pass

Nautical charts published by the Canadian Hydrographic service which are referenced in the United States Coast Pilot are identified by _______________.

A a footnote number
B the abbreviation "can" preceding the chart number
C an asterisk preceding the chart number
D the letter "C" in parentheses following the chart number
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) an asterisk preceding the chart number. Nautical charts published by the Canadian Hydrographic Service that are referenced in the United States Coast Pilot are identified by an asterisk preceding the chart number. This convention is used to clearly indicate that the chart is from the Canadian Hydrographic Service, rather than a chart published by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the standard method used to identify Canadian charts in the US Coast Pilot. Options A, B, and D do not match the actual convention used for these chart references.
