Correct Answer: Option C — J

The pea is the pointed extremity of the anchor fluke, often referred to as the bill. It is the first part of the anchor to engage the bottom. In technical diagrams of a stockless anchor, the letter J corresponds to this specific structural component at the end of the fluke.
