(asap) the museum has an interesting collection of nautical items, including ocean maps, sails, and anchors. the example context clues show that the word nautical means “growing or living near a boat.” “of or associated with salt water.” “having an interest in the ocean.” “of or relating to ships or sailing.”

“of or relating to ships or sailing.”

The context clues are: "ocean maps, sails, and anchors". We can eliminate "growing or living" because none of these items are living things that can grow. Even though ocean maps, relate directly to the ocean, none of the other items are only ocean items. Sails and anchors can be used on freshwater as well. This eliminates the other two options. Therefore D is your best choice.

This is elder Maxson out of the common wealth the answer you seek is D. of or relating to ships or sailing
