AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) .. .. .. .. .. This symbol represents a 2-fathom curve, which is a line on a nautical chart that indicates a depth of 2 fathoms (12 feet or 3.66 meters) below the surface of the water. This is a standard symbol used on NOAA nautical charts to depict bathymetric features and water depths. The other answer choices do not represent the 2-fathom curve symbol. Option A is the symbol for a fairway, option B is the symbol for a sounding depth, and option D is the symbol for a depth contour line.
