The correct answer is C) Q. The three-wing device in the illustration GS-0124 is maintained in its position by the item labeled Q, which is likely a retaining ring or fastener that secures the device in place. This is in accordance with the design and construction requirements for navigational equipment and devices used on US Coast Guard-inspected vessels. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not correspond to the component responsible for maintaining the position of the three-wing device based on the information provided in the illustration.
