Using a scope of five, determine how many feet of chain you should put out to anchor in 12 fathoms of water.

Correct Answer: Option C — 360 feet (110 meters)

At a depth of 12 fathoms and a scope of 5, the required length is 60 fathoms. Converting fathoms to feet by multiplying by 6 feet per fathom yields 360 feet. This length ensures the proper catenary for the anchor to maintain its grip on the seabed.
