255. Why are the anchors dropped well out from the pier while at a Mediterranean moor?

It eliminates navigational hazards by allowing the chain to lie along the harbor bottom
It permits the ship to maneuver in the stream while weighing anchors
It increases the anchor's reliability by providing a large catenary in the chain
It will prevent damage to the stern caused by swinging against the pier in the approach
