The correct answer is C. The illustration GS-0156 shows the proper and improper methods for using locking plates in marine applications. Option C indicates the improper method, where the locking plate is not fully engaged and secured. This could lead to the locking plate becoming dislodged, potentially causing a dangerous situation.
