What is meant by the term "level-luffing" a crane?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — Luffing while the load remains at a constant height

Level-luffing is an automated or manual crane feature designed to maintain the cargo hook at a constant vertical height above the deck while the boom is luffed in or out, preventing vertical displacement during horizontal radius changes.
