70% to passAccording to the liquid crystal data display for the depth sounder shown in the illustration, what is the instantaneous depth currently being displayed? Illustration EL-0186

A43.5 meters below the surface
B43.5 meters below the transducer
C47.5 meters below the surface
D47.5 meters below the transducer
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 47.5 meters below the transducer. The depth displayed on the liquid crystal data display represents the distance from the transducer to the seafloor, not the distance from the surface to the seafloor. Therefore, the correct answer is the depth below the transducer, which is 47.5 meters. The other options are incorrect because they refer to the depth below the surface, which is not what the depth sounder is measuring and displaying. The depth sounder is designed to measure the distance from the transducer to the seafloor, not the distance from the surface to the seafloor.
