In moderate wind and current what should be the length of chain with a single anchor?

Correct Answer: Option B — 5 times the depth of the water in good holding ground

A scope of 5 is the standard baseline for moderate conditions and good holding ground. This length provides enough catenary to keep the anchor shank parallel to the seabed, ensuring the flukes remain buried. It balances the need for holding power with the requirement to limit the vessel's swinging circle.
