Correct Answer: Option D — ring

In standard anchor diagrams, the ring (or Jew's harp) is the circular component at the top of the shank used to attach the anchor to the chain. It is a critical load-bearing part of the ground tackle assembly that must be inspected regularly for signs of structural fatigue.
