AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Coast Pilot. The Coast Pilot is the publication that provides detailed information about channel depths, dangers, obstructions, anchorages, and marine facilities in U.S. ports and waterways. It is considered the primary reference for navigational information for mariners planning to enter unfamiliar ports. The other options, while useful for navigation, do not contain the specific port-level details found in the Coast Pilot.
