What best describes an anchor buoy?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — A buoy attached to the anchor

An anchor buoy is a small buoy attached to the crown of an anchor by a trip line. It serves to mark the anchor's exact location on the seabed, which is essential for identifying the anchor's position to other vessels and facilitating recovery if the chain parts.
