When dragging of an anchor occurs, you must back it up with a piggyback (backing) anchor or __________.

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — reposition it at a greater range

Standard marine anchor handling and MODU mooring practices dictate that when an anchor drags, resetting it requires repositioning at a greater range or deploying a piggyback anchor to re-establish adequate holding power and catenary geometry in the seafloor.
