The database information that should be shown when a chart is first displayed on ECDIS is the _______________.

A standard display information
B display base information
C system electronic nautical chart
D chart display information
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) standard display information. When an electronic chart is first displayed on an ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System), the standard display information should be shown. This includes the basic information required to safely navigate, such as the coastline, major navigational hazards, and important navigational aids. The standard display information is the default display setting that meets the regulatory requirements for the minimum information that must be available on the chart. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) display base information is a more limited subset of chart data, C) system electronic nautical chart refers to the overall electronic chart database, and D) chart display information is a broader term that encompasses the standard display information.
