Question 1853 Deck Safety

You are correct, the answer is A) 1. The symbol for displacement is represented by the number 1 in the illustration D041DG. This is in accordance with the standard symbols and abbreviations used in the US Coast Guard Merchant Marine Examination process, as outlined in the Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) 4-89 guidelines. The other answer choices (B, C, D) do not represent the symbol for displacement in this illustration. They correspond to different elements, such as length overall (2), beam (3), and draft (4), which are also important vessel characteristics but are distinct from the displacement measurement.
