A
only anchor in the separation zone
B
cross a traffic lane at as small an angle as possible
C
utilize the separation zone for navigating through the scheme if she is impeding other traffic due to her slower speed
D
avoid anchoring in areas near the termination of the scheme
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) avoid anchoring in areas near the termination of the scheme. The reasoning is that when using a traffic separation scheme, vessels should avoid anchoring in areas near the termination of the scheme. This is because the termination areas are where the outbound and inbound traffic lanes converge, and anchoring in these areas could create a hazardous situation and impede the flow of traffic. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the proper use of a traffic separation scheme, which is designed to keep traffic flowing safely and efficiently.
